money, but no good ideas. good ideas, but no money. both constellations are kind of a waste of resources. so when i found kickstarter today (it's not new, only new to me), i immediately thought it is a good idea. people with ideas (and no money) present their project and raise money through the website. it's not a pure donation system though, those who back up a project get something out of it. what good it can do depends on the project. sometimes it helps financing projects like the production of an album (like 'kind of bloop'), sometimes it helps to avoid wasting good things.
