Congrats James and Khaled! Awesome company from two of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
Thanks man. It is easy to be nice when you are surrounded by awesome individuals like yourself :).
Agreed on Khaled, although I'm at best unsure on James.
Congrats guys, Crowdtilt rocks! (said the guy wearing a shirt bought using crowdtilt).
Congratulations guys!
From the article:

>I’ve found that when I plan something like a vacation rental with friends, it’s often done by email with a lot of chasing for payments in the aftermath (that could just be my own flaky friends, of course).

It's definitely not just the author who has flaky friends. I think almost everyone has problems collecting money from friends. This makes me think of fantasy football and what a pain in it is to run a league. This, in turn, makes me think of WePay. I wonder how WePay is doing with these two specific use cases: vacationing friends and fantasy sports. And I wonder what they think of Crowdtilt.

Actually WePay is moving away its focus from group payments to small stores, merchants, and fundraising.
need a name change : i read it as : CROWD TIT!
Speaking of which, I would give the female picture on the homepage a minor makeover and tone her down a little.
I read it that way as well - that could be intentional: it makes it more memorable.
Excellent work, gents.

You're welcome :)

Congrats! Keep crushing it guys.
If Facebook credits had a decent percentage fee instead of the crazy 30% they currently have, they'd instantly rule this market completely.
I thought Crowdtilt was like kickstarter but then I read further and its different. I like the idea and I can definitely see myself using their services.
