“I define co-creation as "the act of involving consumers directly, and in some cases repeatedly, in the product creation or innovation process." [Doug Williams]

Ok, so the "Advanced nano-dynamo technology" may be a bit non-commercial at this point, but I love the upside.

Audi corporate logo

I think companies have finally gotten past the "We’re gonna test this stuff on Facebook" (or other SoNet) stage. Where else will brands go online to rally folks and stir up the fan base? I compare it to the early days of the web when destination portals ruled. Back then everyone went somewhere to get content. Nowadays, companies realize their websites probably aren’t the place where most users plan to hang their hat.

Brands now spend time researching where to reach customers and when done right, the payback can be big. Audi’s not only getting valuable feedback early on, but it’s creating a pipeline of customers for all those shiny new Audis that eventually roll off the assembly line.

Toyota’s project manager Tetsuya Kaida says the existing 1/X uses “lightweight carbon-fiber reinforced plastic throughout the body and frame for its superior collision safety.” Unfortunately, that safety feature is still built using oil-based plastics. We’re getting there.
