Wiki So Far

For the course wiki project I will be including information about the growing phenomenon of crowdfunding and possibly add some information about social networking sites and other new media technologies. My research was based on crowdfunding and I will try to incorporate the various areas of interest onto the class wiki. Some areas that would be discussed are types of crowdfunding, various crowdfunding platforms, pros and cons of crowdfunding, and examples of how to run a campaign. Crowdfunding in general rely on online communities to bring awareness for a particular mission so that it can be funded. Also, to get stared with crowdfunding, the initiator of a project needs to be creative, and with applications and tools like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc., a creator of a project can definitely make crowdfunding engaging. The general information about crowdfunding will show that it is an activity that anyone can be involved in by either creating a campaign or helping to fund one.
