Your dedication and innovation in finding ways to raise awareness of the opportunity (whilst avoiding over-saturation of the audience) has been a great example to those of us who can see a Kickstarter in our own futures.<br /><br />Regarding the apparent lack of Twitter-generated pledges, I'd say you've documented something many of us have suspected about Twitter vs. other social networks (i.e., Facebook). While Twitter is an excellent means for information discovery (links to news articles/geeky tidbits, RUMINT, etc..), it does not instill the same kind of socially-transmitted trust that FB or even LinkedIn convey. If a FB friend says they supported a Kickstarter project, that probably has a much higher chance of persuading someone else to consider doing so as well versus a Tweet.Brad Sweethttps://twitter.com/brad_sweetnoreply@blogger.com
