Startup Life
The startup life is one of equal parts hard work and serendipity. As we began to build, think about and share the tool we saw in December it morphed and moved on by. Below the poll is an explanation about why we got to the point where a name change is needed:

Hope you will VOTE, SHARE and COMMENT as we search for a name relevant to the opportunity we see

Thanks, Marty, Phil & CrowdFunde (or whatever we become :) Team

GPlus Is For Startups
GPlus is a much misunderstood social network. That misunderstanding may stem from the fact it is not a social net. GPlus is really a tool suite with a social net sitting on top of it. There are several reasons G+ is great for startups including:

* Not As Crowded as other Social Nets.

* Better for long form content.

* Great for conversations.
* Hangouts on Air = create YouTube Videos automatically.

* There's a learning curve.

That last bullet is why we love G+. Since there is a bit of a learning curve, many aspects of the tool are not intuitive, the uncommitted are turned away. What is left is a group of power users ready, willing and able to contribute meaningful content, inspiration and awareness for your startup.

Try creating a committed tribe of power users on Facebook (hint: you can't). Share pictures of your new baby on Facebook, use GPlus to build your business.
