Kickstarter

Kickstarter has a new iPad/Kindle stand project up on the site that aims to make it easier to read and watch movies in bed. Here is more from the listing: “The Tavoletta is a new tablet stand designed specifically for when you are relaxing or lying down. It’s perfect for watching movies in bed, reading in your favorite recliner or surfing the web on the couch.”

Bids begin at $1, but for $60 you can get your hands on the stand and for $80, you can get two different kind of support bases –one for Kindle and one for the iPad. The project is looking to raise $30,000, and so far has only raised $845, but still has 30 days to go. If you’d like to support the project and get your hands on an early Tavoletta.

Launch a social media campaign that will build your brand and deliver results in our online Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting June 7. Speakers include Abigail Cusick (Bravo Digital), Gregory Galant (Sawhorse Media), Alex Leo (Thomson Reuters Digital), Jim Tobin (Ignite Social Media), and many more. Read the reviews.

Choose-your-own-adventure storytelling meets social networking in Kickstarter project TaleTown, a Facebook game that lets you win Kindle books.

Here is more about the project: “Players in TaleTown actually unlock download-able content for their Kindle or any other e-reader!  That’s right, the free to play Facebook game will be giving out free e-books of short stories, flash fiction, and serial fiction.  It’s long past time for games to start giving out real rewards to players.”

The creators are looking to raise $6,000 for development, marketing and to pay the content creators. You can give as little as $1, but if you give $10 or more, you’ll get a short story for your Kindle. Follow this link to learn more.
