New to Crowdfunding - Social Media Venture

Hi, everyone. :)

I'm happy to have found this forum as I'm quite new to the crowdfunding scene and although I have some fantastic team members working for me on specific things, I am largely on my own with the project.

I was initially referred to Kickstarter by a friend but after reading their guidelines I contacted them for clarification and was told that my software -- a social media content aggregator and organizer for the everyday internet user -- though not a social media network itself would still be forbidden as being related to social media.

That was what led me to finding Indiegogo and there we are now: http://igg.me/txbli

I've been looking around the forum and already found some helpful information, plus everyone seems so friendly and good-spirited, I look forward to being part of the community.

Thanks for reading!
Lierre

Hey Lierre - This forum is for Kickstarter projects. Would recommend posting it on IndiegogoForum.org. That being said, if you are helpful to other members, I'm okay with having you on the site :).

Sorry about that, found it from this "Kickstarter or Indiegogo" page: http://www.crowdcrux.com/30-people-to-p ... n-twitter/

And thought the name Kickstarter Forum name was in the generic sense. That explains why I wasn't seeing many other IGG folks though. :)

Ahh I see. That's my article lol - should have segmented it better. My fault. Yea, IndiegogoForum isn't as big right now, just launched it a week ago or so. Some other Indiegogo Communities: http://www.crowdcrux.com/indiegogo-communities-online/
