Hi Alex,

I think that the truth is that the Kickstarter model is much more
effective for physical goods & design oriented projects as Matthew
alludes.
Probably a lot of truth to that - though there are some exceptions - a
good example is Light Table
(http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ibdknox/light-table)
I think that your KS page could be more effective, but you've actually
just chosen the wrong marketplace to crowd-fund your idea and you're
not speaking to the people who actually care about these problems, as
you've already deduced.
Rather than focus on an arts/creative/design audience, you'd be better
off in front of a business or productivity-minded audience.
It's pretty clear that the key to a successful kickstarter effort is
driving people to the site (coverage by Wired or Gizmodo seems to do magic).
Having said that... any thoughts on email lists, LinkedIn Groups,
specific blogs, and the like where "business and productivity-minded
audiences" might congregate?
Thanks!
Miles
