kickstarter vs USA projects
it appears kickstarter has some new competition: http://www.usaprojects.org/
anyone have any thoughts on USA Projects? other than a terrible name, they seem pretty cool. but do we really need something other than kickstarter? is the more focused approach to USA Projects really necessary? it seems to me people will be drawn to a fundraising effort by outside forces, not by perusing a website. I DON"T KNOW

"USA Projects is open to artists who have been recognized for the caliber and impact of their work by receiving an award, grant, fellowship or residency. Participating artists have been vetted by United States Artists and other esteemed organizations across the country."
I like the idea of a targeted Kickstarter. Less tech focused is always okay.
"All donations to USA Projects and United States Artists are tax deductible to the full extent of the law. Donors receive an immediate email receipt acknowledging their donation."
i just submitted my resume, wist me luck.
in some ways it looks really cool, but i am also suspicious... i've just seen too many money grubbers out there try to take advantage of desperate artists. hopefully this isn't one of those.
