This is the growth curve of the crowd financing platform Kickstarter I have been writing sbout before. The service is now 2 years old and seems to be growing exponentially. Read more on their own blog post: The Kickstarter Blog - Happy Birthday Kickstarter!

This just an example of different crowd sourcing models out there which thrives today. When we as individuals don’t trust systems and institutions and they don’t trust us it is a dilemma. But when technologies emerge that can help us bypassing these institutions we seems to take the chance. Especially since we perceive these services as more transparent, less profit hungry and honest than what most of the traditional institutions, grown up in a different world, can ever be.
