What do you think about crowdfunding campaigns?

We review a lot of different products and services on this site, and we get PR pitches almost daily from companies that want us to promote or review their product or service.

Many of those pitches are for products or services that don’t actually exist yet. They just want us to get the word out for the crowdfunding campaign they’re launching in the hope that it will help them them reach their funding goal and hopefully it will be a real product or service someday.

In general we’ve rejected those requests because we don’t want to waste our time or yours talking about products or services that may never see the light of day.

Tony Bradley: I have a passion for technology and gadgets and a desire to help others understand how technology can affect or improve their lives. I also love spending time with my wife, 7 kids, 3 dogs, 5 cats, a pot-bellied pig, and sulcata tortoise, and I like to think I enjoy reading and golf even though I never find time for either.
