It would be nice to leverage the enthusiasm of the bitcoin community for crowdfunding. Do you think that this would still be viable if kickstarter decided to accept BTC?
I personally think there would be no need for them if Kickstarter accepts BTC

Could the bitcoin multi-signature transaction feature be leveraged to create a secure threshold crowdfunding "platform" (where creator only receives funds once goal is reached) with no 3rd party involved?

I don't see Kickstarter enabling BTC anytime soon, as they're still stuck on a single credit card gateway. And yeah, I too worried about getting ripped off. Not as easy to file a chargeback and/or dispute without a bank to fight for you.
I would worry about this in case of crowd funding, too. We started a platform for loans where there is a real obligation to repay. If you don't your credit score could deteriorate which is a good incentive.
I like the idea but worry about getting ripped off 
I definitely think it would. It might even make platforms like kickstarter more efficient because the overall payment costs would be lower.

Here is one other thing you could try to get funding. My co-founder and I built a website for Bitcoin loans, we call them Bitbonds, this is our website: https://www.bitbond.net/
Bitbonds are funded by the Bitcoin community, which makes it a sort of crowdfunding. However, the difference is that when you have a loan there is a real obligation to repay with interest. The repayment obligation can increase the trust level for your lenders and increase your chances to actually get funded. Try it out!

Nice work nhagen - maybe I will try it out as we too wanted to start an project like this.
My only thinkings are that maybe we will go with Bitpay and set up projects finally with USD/EUR - as for business owners and startups it`s harder getting BTC. All materials, rents and everything else is billed in FIAT & finally in my thinkings it has too no sense collecting BTC to a goal and when arriving it miss again the sum because of exchange rate.

After being asked by dozens of Bitcoin fans, we built a Bitcoin payment gateway for the IgnitionDeck crowdfunding plugin: http://ignitiondeck.com/id/bitcoin-crowdfunding/. It runs on WordPress and is self-hosted, in the event you want to customize your campaign.
Right now we're using the Blockchain API to convert currency into Bitcoin and to manage the payment tracking, but I'd be curious to hear which wallets and/or Bitcoin commerce solutions you trust/use most?
I've been playing with Coinbase, which I also like, but it seems very young.

Does anyone know of rewards for crowdfunding?
I don't think any of these So-Called BitCoin CrowdFunding Website give Us Perks or Rewards...
