Sounds like it is for already created products, so is for a different audience than kickstarter. Although, honestly, if I were a maker I'd just pick the one with more traffic and customize or V2 to qualify for kickstarter if I had to since it gets a lot more eyeballs and eyeballs are where the money is.

Oh, I don't know. I don't think I'm alone in enjoying making things and sharing them when feasible... but am not that interested in running a real business doing it.

I realize that I'll never make enough income to replace a normal job building this sort of stuff, so a way to make small runs of useful things and actually get them to people who are interested sounds pretty appealing.

As is, I just post stuff I'm making on blog.saikoled.com, but when I have some time I'll definitely look at putting up useful gadgets on something like this. I just don't have the interest to quit working on my real company, get enough investment/funding to make a serious product, and deal with the stress of pitching it to people on kickstarter =P
