I backed Ghost - it's nice to be informed that the reason I handed over cash was so that I could be part of a 'hip' circle, as Tungs states.

It was the one second tat flash in a three minute video that really convinced me.

I naively thought it was because I was interested in seeing how a new open-source blogging platform based on javascript would turn out.

A blanket dismissal of Ghosts 5,000+ backers - comparing them to music snobs - is a pot shot that adds nothing to the discussion.
