Mathew's comments: Spot.us brings crowdfunding to journalism

    Thanks Matt.

    You rock!!

    I do what I can. I also admit that there are a lot of unknowns about community funded reporting. But I am committed to exploring it - because we gotta figure something out.

    It will be an exciting experiment.

    Definitely going to be watching with interest, Dave. Best of luck.

    I suppose he's not expecting contributors to fund the entire cost of any project, but there still seems to be a free rider issue that will make it very difficult for this to efficiently value any particular project.

    I agree that there could be a "free rider" problem, Slorn. How much that affects things remains to be seen, I guess.
