Dear Admin,
I have reviewed the website you have suggested. It appears promising.
In one way I like the idea of 'pledging' vs. investing.
However, as I am part of a non-profit organization myself, experience teaches me that once you find an individual interested in supporting a project, it is in your best interest to collect his donation as soon as possible, as project details may change, and (1000 people = 1000 minds & attitudes) investors may withdraw their investments as well.
Here are some suggestions I have.
1. It would be redundant to have feng users/feng community users suggesting improvements/solutions on both places: Feng Forum & Idea torrent.
For simplicity reason, I would suggest to eliminate the section for new ideas, etc. at the Feng Forum and direct users to Idea Torrent Feng domain.
2. It becomes cumbersome to go the 'Idea Torrent' to vote and then go to MicroPledge to search for a specific project to pledge a support.
Instead, it would be far better to have a link incorporated within the main text body (or some place) on the Idea Torrent, where users can simply click on and be redirected to a correct web address on MicroPledge website (corresponding to the specific project they voted on Idea torrent) to commit their support/pledge. etc. PayPal uses the same methodology, where ebay users are redirected to paypal's website when needing to pay for an item they have purchased while everything is prefilled and ready, they just need to login and lick "Pay".
Otherwise, this project could work. I think, like anything else, it will require some time for the feng users to become accustomed to two fold workflow: voting on the Idea torrent, and then committing/pledging on MicroPledge.
I am looking forward to see this this project being implemented.
Thanks.

The one thing I was not able to find out is if it is possible to direct a feng user/feng community user directly via a link to
