Using Kickstarter Data To Predict Ubuntu Edge's Success

Posted by samzenpus on from the what-do-the-numbers-say dept.

First time accepted submitter Jason Waddell writes "According to Kickstarter's historic backing data, crowdfunding follows a very predictable pattern: a strong opening, a mid-campaign 'dead zone', and a small resurgence at the end of the campaign. We combine Kickstarter's trends with the Ubuntu Edge Indiegogo crowdfunding data to forecast whether the innovative Ubuntu phone will reach its $32 million campaign goal."

    They can't even make a decent desktop OS after years of trying.... I dumped it years ago for Mint.

      So...what are you complaining about again?

      Unlike my teens and early 20s, I have too much of a life to fiddle with every stupid thing to get things just so. Maybe you can appreciate that one day.
