Yes, Kickstarter does curate it's submissions and IGG does not. We weren't shocked by the success % but rather the large gap in money raised considering IGG has 4 times the amount of campaigns Kickstarter has

Indiegogo started in 2008 and Kickstarter was launched in 2009. Also, we saw from the live dollar amounts that Kickstarter was quickly expanding it's lead.

We compiled our numbers in this table https://docs.google.com/a/jonlau.me/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aob.... Or you can check out the raw data at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AobjVQ7EKnjldGR...

Unfortunately, we didn't scrape any time information. Surprisingly enough, Indiegogo is actually the older crowdfunding platform, though I agree with you Kickstarter was certainly the early-mindshare-leader.

Judging from the live dollar amounts that we saw over time, Kickstarter is continuing to widen it's lead.
