Kickstarter vs. Real crowd

Hi there,

Today we faced with a very interesting situation.

Kickstarter rejected Usarium campaign:

We review projects to ensure they meet our Project Guidelines (http://www.kickstarter.com/help/guidelines), which define how Kickstarter can be used. They express our commitment to being a platform for projects in the creative arts.

Unfortunately, this project does not meet our guidelines. This isn't a judgment on the quality of this project, just a reflection of our focus. Kickstarter cannot be used to fund development for social networking websites or apps.

So our plan to receive money from users for further development failed.

Or not?

We promote that access is better than ownership. So why not to apply the same principle to our development. What we need money (ownership) or help (access)?

Why not to create the DESK with list of activities, we wanted to pay, to let everyone do by his hands (money don’t needed)?

What activity?

- Promote via FB, Twitter, Instagram

- Produce & post video-review on YouTube

- Provide prizes for the lottery 
- Organize sharing clubs
- Create apps over Usarium API...

Have a look at the DESK, and let’s see what has more power - money or people...

Cheers!

Oleg.
