The post-industrial revolution is changing the way products are created, traded and distributed. Now everyone can engage in the manufacturing process through their PCs - bringing personal manufacturing of individualized products to the masses.

Ponoko is the world’s first personal manufacturing platform. It’s the online space for a community of creators and consumers to use a global network of digital manufacturing hardware to co-create, make and trade individualized product ideas on demand.

The Ponoko marketplace connects creators, consumers, digital manufacturing hardware and service providers to promote, make and trade products on Ponoko and social networking websites.

Why this idea is different:

• It makes it easier and cheaper for designers to bring their ideas to market and makes it easier and cheaper for consumers to buy products that aren’t mass produced.
• Products can be made anywhere in the world.
• Products can be made close to where a buyer lives, they don’t have to be shipped over great distances or stored in bulk in warehouses. This keeps costs down and is kinder on the environment.
• Digital manufacturers get access to pre-paid customers. The online system makes it easy and straightforward for them to quote jobs, communicate with customers, receive design files and order materials.

 What is Browsershots?

Browsershots makes screenshots of your web design in different browsers. It is a free open-source online service created by Johann C. Rocholl. When you submit your web address, it will be added to the job queue. A number of distributed computers will open your website in their browser. Then they will make screenshots and upload them to the central server here.

Mission Statement

In our dreams, the web looks good for all users. So we let web designers view screenshots of their pages in different browsers, at different screen resolutions and with different plugins. We’re trying to make this service easy to use, open for all (including access to the source code) and 100% free, as in free beer.
The problem: cross-browser incompatibilities

This project is concerned with a favorite problem of web designers: websites look different in other browsers. Testing a new site in many browsers can be quite time-consuming. Not everybody has a farm of legacy machines with older OSes and browsers. There are online services that offer screenshots of websites in different browsers for considerable fees. For the hobbyist and for open source projects, these fees may be prohibitive.
The solution: community cooperation

The idea behind this project is to distribute the work of making browser screenshots among community members. Everybody can add URLs to the job queue on a central server. Volunteers use a small program to automatically make screenshots of web pages in their browser and upload the results to the server.

• MapBuilder
  • MapBuilder.net is an Web2.0 service or rapid mashup development tool to build custom Google and Yahoo maps without any knowledge of the Google/Yahoo Maps API and JavaScript. MapBuilder provides a decent visual interface for the map building process with geocoding and import features. Also MapBuilder lets users tag locations on their maps, and then publish the map either on MapBuilder.net or their own website.As a short summary I would like to say that Map Builder is:
    - a great tool for webmasters, webdevelopers, people who likes mapping at all.
    - an excellent resource to get started with Google or Yahoo maps.
    - a good resource to build communities around your maps or just start collaborated map development.
