Anybody use it and have any luck?  If so what were you raising money for and what type of luck did you have?

I'm waiting to raise money for a power washer, so I don't have to get it "the other way."

Why would you go with that instead of a better known platform like kickstarter?

I used it once to donate money to a group on FB that hands out gatorade to soldiers doing police call and things (USAWTF).  I didn't realize I would be inundated with emails for other funds.  Usually the "woe is me" type.

A family we know had a child die tragically 2 days ago.  That same day someone started a gofundme page for it to help cover the expenses.  So far they've gotten over $20,000.

so raher than stand on a corner and beg for money or steal it from a neighbor or walmart, we have perfected internet begging.

I saw a ghetto version of this yesterday.   A bunch of folks, looked like the whole family, standing at an interchange with butter tubs and posterboards axing for donations to funeralize somebody.  

I give it a month before every intersection in town is full of these miserable fucks.

I have used it strictly for a friend whose son is dying from brain cancer.

They take 5% but its less than most other sites.

Most people don't like to "register" their information but it is safe. Some people are scammers there making it hard for legitimate needs to me met.

Kickstarter is generally for products, fundme is more for people.
