Why I backed Pebble at Kickstarter, along with 30,000+ others
I forget if it was on Twitter or Goolge+ first, but I saw someone post about the Pebble Kickstarter and without even watching the promo video, I immediately backed the project, my first Kickstarter pledge. I signed up for the “Hacker Special”, to gain access to the early SDK and one of the devices in August before the September launch. When Kickstarter processed my payment, the funding round had 37 days to go and they had already hit $108,000 of their $100,000 goal.
