Does Your Idea Have Legs? Social Media Project Networks

Kickstart Your Idea
I recently came across an American site http://www.kickstarter.com/. Its a pledge site for people who need help getting there art, design and ideas off the ground. Or as they put it:
Kickstarter is a funding platform for artists, designers, filmmakers, musicians, journalists, inventors, bloggers, explorers...
So the deal is if you have an idea you may submit it and if you reach the pledged amount you receive the funding. Its a great use of digital media and online social networks. It demonstrated the scale and breadth of which the online communities are willing to support good ideas.

FaceBook film wins attention at Canes
A film created by volunteers and donations using FaceBook and social media networks has grabbed the attention of Cannes and all for under a hundred bucks! The film, Colin, which is surprising Cannes critics could be the first of a series of similar trends that seem to populate social media networks in waves of thought which is to use social media to create. Look out Hollywood.
