To me, crowd sourcing seems to work because it's about some exciting new
technology that people have to have and it's the only way to have it.

There's a buzz, an excitement that needs to light up twitter in order to
get enough people clicking through that some will put their money on the
line.

If it's not exciting new buzz technology then I'm not sure we would get
the click through rates to make it successful/worthwhile (although I
don't know what figure would make it worthwhile).

In which case, it's really just a donate link and (speaking from
experience) I don't think that they work very well.

Canonical started putting a donation advert before you download Ubuntu
on their site, it would be interesting to see whether that worked or not
(as horrible as it might be).
