Glenn Fleishman comments on the Glif Kickstarter project:

The $70,000 raised so far is a small sum in the consumer product world, but two or three years ago, few of the steps that the Glif took between conception and production even existed. Atom-based production is still messy, but thanks to the efficiencies of electrons, the threshold for even considering it is a good deal lower.

It really is amazing how successful this project, and others, have been on Kickstarter. It not only provides funds for people to launch products, but also locks in an existing market so there is less initial risk.
