Many people still don't know about it but one of the biggest trends we've been tracking around the globe is the Crowd Funding. It's about websites where new, creative minds, announce the ideas they're willing to put in practice and look for people to help fund it. In that way, if you come across a project that really interests you, you can contribute to it's developing so that the makers are able to complete it. For us, consumers, is a great way to learn about new products even before they hit the shelves. For the creators, is a great way to get their projects running.
Crowd Supply is one of those Crowd Funding companies, and is the newest partner of the blog. Based on the profile of Around and About's readers, they send us tips of great projects that are still lokking for funds to be developed. That's how I got to know about MYcord.
The creator of this ear plug had his Eureka! moment while seating in the Brooklyn subway. He noticed that almost everyone was wearing colourful headphones and the all the wires were tangled. He, then, remembered a trend he has seen recently, called Yarn-bombing. It consists of covering any given object such as posts, benches, bike, in colourful knits. Why not covering head phones? Besides giving it an artisanal feel, it would also prevent them from tangling. The project is still looking for money to start being produced, which means that you can either pre-order yours or fund the idea so that MYcord gets out of the paper quicker.
