      Hey Benjamin

      I love this and was sad you didn't hit funding. I'm a Facebook marketer, building lists for entrepreneurs, and I wonder if I can help you drum up more interest in this.

      Let me know if you'd like to talk to see how I might be able to help.

      I STILL think this is a great idea & NEEDS to happen. I think it's very marketable. I'm not sure how much you guys put it out there but everyone from 13-35 will want one of these if they know about it. If you could only get on Jimmy Kimmel or Conan cause it's weird enough & cool enough. Good luck guys! Keep the backer's emails & keep us up to date!

      Yes to Michael's comment below. I must have a Molly.

      I almost missed this since I normally just look in the Technology section. I'm surprised I didn't see this there. If it doesn't fund, maybe you'd consider re-listing it as a Technology project?

      I am keeping my fingers crossed that you are able to get funding. I would like to use it to extend the user experience on our website beyond images... we are running 50 high-res webcams with stunning ocean views in Nova Scotia/Canada. http://www.novascotiawebcams.com

      After posting a link about Olly and Molly on Facebook this morning I received a call from a local TV station to talk about this idea...

      Cheers Fred! Yeah, its a really exciting place to be playing around in and we can't wait to start working on where this could go next!

      I really hope this funds. Your angle, the mixing of web and the physical, is very interesting to me and I can see how Olly and Molly are just the beginning.

      Hey Nathan,
      Yep, that is possible. If you login to your Kickstarter account, click on 'manage your pledge' it will enable you to raise the amount you have pledged and choose which reward you would like to receive.
      Hope this helps and feel free to get in touch if you have any problems.

      Thanks

      Ben

      Hey Matthew! Thanks for the support and the kind words. Worldwide shipping is included in the pledge. Keep your eyes peeled this week, we have a little suprise in store...

      Hey Benjamin, I love the idea of Olly; very unique. I've got a few KickStarter ideas running through my head, but I'm no where near ready to unloose them! Meanwhile, I'm an avid supporter of great ideas from fellow tinkers and have just backed your project! One quick question: being a fellow Brit but based in Singapore, I don't see any guidance on international shipping? Cheers Matthew.

      Thanks Yaffle!
      Keep your eyes peeled over the next few days, there's a little surprise in store that might help us get that $35k in the next couple of weeks...

      Hi Benjamin - I hope you get your funding, because this is a very original and interesting idea. Like others have said, if you don't get it through kickstarter, I'd still be interested in one (though sadly I don't have $35k to invest... )

      Cheers Shaun! And to think that it all started with yourself and Tim's hacked together code and a tin of Pringles! Thanks very much for your help with that, awesome stuff.
      Hope all is well with you and I look forward to hearing from you.

      I love this.... I'm a Facebook Marketer and Strategist, and I have no idea how I'd use it, but I love the idea and the concept of making the internet smelly...... good work!
