I always ask me how many projects in the long tail deserve to move to the head? Surely many if we hack the search economy.

It'd be nice to create a true crowd funding platform where your project's success is based off the actual project rather than the creator's "klout".
I've had numerous people I've counseled (can't think of a better term) over the last 6 months with an app or product idea. Almost always their first plan is "I'm gonna do a kickstarter". Terrible terrible approach, imo, precisely because it's mostly a popularity contest, or 'who you know'. None of these people who I've spoken with have large networks, and their kickstarters have generally been poor turnouts. Correlation or causation? I'm inclined to causation.
That's precisely the issue to solve. How to show a "karma" that is close to your real capabilities.
