Funding Ideas Worldwide

You may have heard of Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Peoplefund.it, and RocketHub. But do you know what these sites are for? They're sites where people post ideas and prototypes for new ideas that they have so people in the public can choose to fund the projects that they feel are cool or choose not to fund if they aren't cool or useful projects. 

I Have personally funded a few different projects on Kickstarter and having these websites is a great idea. It is good for the inventors/entrepreneurs who are trying to market their new product because it lets the public see the project and if the public doesn't like the idea then it reduces the risk and the loss for the people who had the idea. It is also good because it gives consumers a chance to decide what they think is a good idea and it gives them a chance to be one of the first people to own the new project or be included in certain other incentives that the inventors/entrepreneurs decide to promote often at a reduced cost to the consumer.

Is Fantasy Too Much?

Fantasy football is a huge game played by millions worldwide every year. There are a lot of different sites and ways of playing. Some of tyne more popular sites in the US are NFL.com and ESPN.com. Most sites are full season sites where you draft a team and play with that same team all season. In those leagues you are allowed to trade players and pick up players from the free agents list. There are also some single-day or single-week leagues where you can pay a few dollars to enter a game and after you pay you draft a team from a list of players and have a chance to win some money.

The prospect of winning money leads some fantasy owners to go on rants on social media sites directed at the players themselves. Some players don't care about these rants because they understand that there are going to be people that like them and people that don't like them no matter what happens. But, on the other hand there are some players that hate the whole prospect of fantasy leagues because they're not real leagues and the players don't deserve the backlash they get for having a less-than-perfect game. I personally think that it adds to the fun of watching football. I have 3 different teams and for me it gets me more excited to watch the games that come on.
