[757labs] small scale production, social funding/buying

[Ed Park]

Hello all,

Saw this interesting link and wanted to pass this along. Somebody
builds a prototype (stand for an iphone), then you have people through
a site called kickstarter who pledge to fund and/or buy it.  Neat
article because it covers a lot of the phases - concept, design,
prototyping, marketing, and funding.
