Yancey Strickler, co-founder of Kickstarter, dropped us a line about the systems in place to "hide" failed projects. He told us that Kickstarter does indeed hide many projects from search robots, but it's for a good cause. "The original poster was correct in noting that we don't have a browse area for projects whose funding was unsuccessful," he wrote. "This isn't to 'hide failure,' as the original post said, it's because it would be a poor user experience (there's no action that anyone could take) and it would expose the creators of unsuccessfully funded projects to unnecessary criticism from the web (those projects would be prime for trolling)."Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/XnS_i9Iy98c/
