Ghost, an open-source blogging platform that hopes to shake up the personal publishing space, is nearing the end of its Kickstarter journey.
Almost a month ago, Ghost launched with what seemed like an audacious goal: Raise £25,000 to help create a new web platform dedicated to publishing. To date, the project has raised £150,000 (that’s $226,000 in U.S. dollars), and it has a shot at making its £250,000 stretch goal.
So what is it about Ghost that has resonated with users, developers and writers?
I spent some time talking with John O’Nolan, the founder and project leader of Ghost, about Kickstarter, open-source software and the future of publishing. Read more…

Remember that Connectify Switchboard Insert Coin we featured just over a week ago? Well, we’d like to say we’re sorry to hear it’s been canceled — but we’re not. Why? Because a high amount of interest from people preferring to use their own computers as servers, has resulted in a change of plan. The result is that the product is available right away, and will no longer use cloud servers. This change means the need for investment has gone, evaporating the need for Kickstarter, too. This also means you can use the service as a private VPN, and always appear as if you’re surfing from your home PC — along with that speed-boosting channel bonding tech, of course. To sweeten the deal even further, if you purchase access to the beta program now ($90), then you’ll get lifetime updates and support. After the beta, the price rises to $100. Better fire up that those internet connections, stat.
