(2012-05-11) Winer D-and-D Group-Forming Kickstarter

Dave Winer thinks D And D Group Forming-via-CrowdFunding can coalesce on KickStarter and other neo-DiscussionForum sites. I figured that blogging communities (BlogWeb) would form and out of that would come new products and businesses, and products that more closely match the way people really are, not the way the companies imagine we are. I've been inside enough companies to know how badly companies abstract the needs and wants of users. Now, KickStarter, an idea I knew was right from the get-go (wish I had had a chance to invest) is either tapping into the knowledge that users have that vendors are missing big opportunities because of poor vision. I think sites like GdgT and Stack Overflow are tapping into the other side of it, providing venues for smart users to share experience. Eventually the two will meet. Threads will start on these sites and migrate to Kickstarter, and the mutual-itch will turn into a vision, and it gets funded, and is realized. Or at least have a chance to be realized.
