"Backers become advocates for your cause _ they hit the blogs, newspapers, etc., and it's the wider network that seems to contribute most, not your immediate friends," he said. "Probably your immediate friends contribute more directly, for example with their time and support."
Warren, a fellow at MIT's Center for Future Civic Media, said he didn't personally know most of the project's backers.
