wyld_dandelyon posed a question that gave me a whole new idea: collectible badges for cyberfunded projects.
My basic idea would be similar to the "nominee" badges created for the Rose and Bay Awards. The badge would have some kind of image, and text along the lines of "Poetry Fishbowl Patron." I could make a single badge, or if it proves highly popular, I could change the design periodically -- one per year, or season, or even month. Everyone who sponsors a poem or donates to the fishbowl would then have the right to use that badge.
The cool thing is, if this became popular for crowdfunded projects to provide, it would create an easy and eye-catching way for patrons to show their support and promote their favorite projects. They might have different contents -- photos, drawings, an autograph, whatever. You could put all your badges together in a post or page with a header like, "I am a proud patron of cyberfunded creativity. These are some projects that I support. Please visit them and enjoy some of the material that I have helped to manifest." In addition to your own page, you could visit your friends' patronage pages and see what projects they like.
Thoughts?
