I wonder how many people pledge money but then don't have enough left on their credit card when the project becomes successfully funded and Kickstarter tries to collect the money. Kickstarter only puts a $1 hold on the person's card from what I understand.

im working on a new kickstarter competitor called GoFundYourself! u can use it as the answer to when kickstarter refuses to let you have a kickstarter or you otherwise are having trouble raising capital to fund your awesome idea! when u can't raise money, just imagine someone telling you 'GoFundYourself!' and u'll have the answer to your money needs.

The data gatherers, and the data manipulators. no, it's not about the "credit" or w/e strawman you aligned me with it's this idea that there's a website out there and some bored nerd goes and finds a data set and starts working on it that's never going to happen. wiki only works because people understand an encyclopedia and want to get their viewpoint out in *the* collection of human knowledge. memory alpha only works because of the pre-existing rabid fan base of trek. you've got.. nothing. i basically agree with you that it'd be awesome to have a nerd horde I could toss data to, but you can't just spit out a website and expect the nerd horde to follow, the hordes you see are driven from within

Only established companies can capture the ordinary person wanting to invest in something? If what your saying is correct, where would trading volume be, and what do you imagine the market growth would be without individual investors? Where would market liquidity be? What would this mean in terms of market efficiency? Sounds to me, the only thing letting anyone invest in anything would do is facilitate growth in entrepreneurship and innovation. Obviously the best projects would still be the ones to attract the most funding, and thus natural selection would still play a role in market efficiency.

Then you are saying some kid comes along needing to do his science project won't want to go through and try to create a nice visual display combining different datasets? Obviously if the individual does a bad job at visualizing and interpreting the data, the display will get bad ratings, and be pushed down in the hidden archives of internet cyber waste. Eventually though... some good stuff will be created, and the best data paired with the best display will be the outcome of what is displayed in search. Seems like a simple enough concept that makes sense.

Ian academia has a very stringent vetting process for publishing data and it is highly frowned upon to release data without it being vetted. Some college professors and PhDs aren't going to finish up their paper on some obscure theory and then just throw it up on your website before it goes into Nature or something else. Even if you could somehow get people to publish to your site you lose the one thing that existing publications have and that is the knowledge of its user base. I don't want some 30 year old nerd editing a paper I have spent the last 7 years researching because he thinks he knows a way to make my data look more appealing or he thinks he knows the subject better. As it is right now Wikipedia, with its massive circlejerk of bureaucracy, has trouble getting actual professionals to edit things on the site and then to hold that informed opinion over someone who just finished editing Naruto in Popular Culture. A site with just numbers and not the associated information describing those numbers(like the 200 page paper that goes with it) will devolve into editing wars and incorrect interpretations of data. Data is only good when it is interpreted correctly otherwise it is useless and I would say detrimental. Do you really want people citing a source they don't understand? And your idea doesn't make the data easier to understand it makes it easier to remove the data from the theory and then interpret it in your own wrong way.

collecting data is meaningless if you can't make it easier to interpret, a stack of normal graphs will be a huge chunk of your data but what makes graph 1 different from graph 200 besides the axes labels if you don't have the associated information to interpret it.

You will be able to save an article to one datapoint, or many datapoints within a set from a specific source. So... what type of information are you referring to?
