3-D Printed Shoes: Quite the Feet
The pieces were exhibited recently in a show in Amsterdam called "The Future of Fashion," curated by Freedom of Creation, a Dutch outfit that specializes in 3-D printed design.
As you can see on the heel and the forefoot, there's a little bit of a platform flange--to give a bit of cushion on what's normally a very stiff material.
You can make anything from 3-D printing, from impossibly complex lamps to chain-mail bags to entire buildings . So it's actually kind of surprising that 3-D printed shoes aren't more common.

Four Ways to Keep the Museum Experience Relevant
The museum's objective was to engage a broader audience in a deeper conversation by transforming the museum into a social media platform. We discussed how traditional institutions can build social media platforms while remaining authentic and came up with four methods for success. Content: Why China? The museum was apprehensive about two aspects of creating a social media platform: 1) hosting a party and having no one show up, and 2) releasing control Ziba Design helped create the massive exhibition, China Design Now which recently closed in Portland, Oregon.

PhoneGap, the Mobile Platform Democratizer
Phonegap is an opensource development framework for mobile platforms. Nitobi , the Vancouver-based company behind Phonegap, intends to make money via future services.

In the feature-platform matrix below green means done, It allows developers to build native apps in HTML and JavaScript. Currently PhoneGap works for the iPhone and Android, but Blackberry and other OSs are on the way.

Check Mate: Apple's iPad and Google's Next Move
It's the Platform, Stupid!
As But, far more resonant is a second sense that a rapidly rising tide called iPhone Platform is lifting all boats derived from it; namely iPhone, iPod Touch and now iPad (and I still very much believe that Apple TV is due for a near-term reboot to plug into the same ecosystem).
And Mind you, this is independent of the iPad-specific optimizations that developers can take advantage of within the updated SDK (a note aside, now with two flagship devices that are not phones, calling the platform 'iPhone "I think this will appeal to the Apple acolytes, but this is essentially just a really big iPod Touch," said Charles Golvin, an analyst at Forrester Research, adding that he expected the iPad to mostly cannibalize the sales of other Apple products. - The New York Times

9 experiences for 2009
As a result, we’ll see many more mobile experiences emerge that are only possible and only compelling on a mobile platform.
Tags: Experience Strategy 2009 user experience predictions experiences Future Timing is everything. Take Flickr for example, a photo sharing service that successfully emerged in 2004 not just because of good design, technology, and leadership, but because of the coincidental mass adoption of camera phones and affordable high-quality digital cameras.

The Google Android Rollout: Windows or Waterloo?
Because a successful platform play demands clear delineation points between the areas where the platform creator is looking to the ecosystem to fill the gap (and, thus the platform provider won't compete with them); where they consider something proprietary to themselves, and thus won't allow a third-party to augment/swap out; and where it's more akin to 'co-opetition' (the platform creator will cooperate, but reserves the right to compete as well).
History suggests that when ecosystem partners conclude that the platform creator is competing with its own constituency

The Future of Online Learning: Ten Years On
An MS-Word version of this essay is available at [link] In the summer of 1998, over two frantic weeks in July, I wrote an essay titled The Future of Online Learning. (Downes, We want a plan,” said my managers, and so I outlined the future as I thought it would – and should – unfold. In the ten years that have followed, this vision of the future has proven to be remarkably robust. Downes, 1998) At the time, I was working as a distance education and new media design specialist at Assiniboine Community College, and I wrote the essay to defend the work I was doing at the time. “We

Shift Happens – The Future of Advertising
The basic paradox of the Internet can be framed very simply: The very platform that makes advertising both more relevant and more measurable is the same platform that longer-term will challenge and ultimately undermine the basic role of advertising in communicating with customers.
On the second point, social network sites provide increasingly robust platforms for us to learn about what our friends are interested in and purchasing (although in many cases still trying to figure out the appropriate balance between privacy and attention). In a world of rapid change, shift piles upon shift.

Facebook Platform
Stephen Downes picked up my post on Facebook As a Learning Platform . But it is still important, because it reveals many of the features future learning environments (and personal environments in general) will need to have. All of that said, Facebook is surprising me in terms of how well it works as a platform. He commented: To be clear, I do not think that Facebook itself is really a learning environment. It's a large, centralized piece of software that is getting creaky with use (we've seen more outages and the PHP code is once again dumping itself into users' browsers).

Could Wikipedia's Future Be as a Development Platform?
All of that is possible, but a Wikipedia as platform can't be taken for granted.
We've written here about non-advertising based forms of data mining that could be huge in the future and how big a Facebok sentiment engine could be . Content creation at Wikipedia is slowing down. The already small number of active regular editors is on the decline and Jimmy Wales has called for live edits to be held for approval on many pages, a step sure to slow contributions even further.
