Re:Awesome Foundation gives no-strings cash to great ideas [... by melling on Monday July 29, 2013 @04:58AM (#6120006)
Another interesting method for crowd funding. While cool, I'm still hopeful that we'll soon have the crowd funding/crowd sourcing sites that tackle bigger problems.

A site that funds the next Mars Lunar Rover in an X-Prize manner, for instance. Another site that provides crowd-funded medical grants like the Howard Hughes Medical Institute.

Perhaps another to help fund some of Bill Gates' ambitious projects. He's got big ideas and even he's gonna need a little more cash. :-)
