Interesting to see a project this large using Indiegogo rather than Kickstarter. Nice to have alternatives becoming more prominent, and every multi-million-dollar project and project that vastly surpasses its funding goal draws major publicity for its platform too.
Well in the 3D printer area (an area I have some interest in) it seems that people who are rejected by Kickstarter ended up on Indiegogo. I've looked for but haven't found any way yet to figure out how many projects are in that space, but for 3d printers the number of "this is going to fail, clearly" type projects has gotten relatively large.

That's exactly the problem that motivated my comment: Indiegogo and other such sites need to be seen as first-class crowdfunding platforms in their own right, not "rejects from Kickstarter" or "projects not cool enough to get into Kickstarter".
