Women’s fashion innovation hides camel toe
Camel toes occurs when a woman’s pants are too tight the fabric rides up expose the shape of her intimate area. Smooth Groove prevents the embarrassing effect.
This product follows in a long line of women’s undergarments that strategically reveal or conceal some portion of the figure. The obvious solution for camel toe is to not wear pants that are so tight they leave nothing to the imagination. The goal of such tight pants is to leave a select bit to the imagination, and thus the opportunity for Smooth Groove. The maker put a lot of thought into the design of the product and the image for the product.
Now that Smooth Grove is available to prevent displaying camel toe expect another product that artificially creates it. Wearing pants that are tight enough to expose the shape underneath is uncomfortable. It would be much more comfortable and potentially esthetically pleasing to wear a “New Groove”.
Peer-to-Peer Learning Disrupting Poverty
I’ve been promoting peer-to-peer technology and education for 15 years. USA is ignoring the advice, India is doing it and succeeding.

Michigan is complaining that it can’t cut spending below $7316 per student per year for 12 years but India is able to train engineers in 6 months for nearly free and teenager Babar Ali is providing elementary education for free using the peer-to-peer model. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8299780.stm
More importantly the people actually getting it done are avoiding the top-down hierarchies of established charities and government. They are doing themselves and helping others to do it themselves.
Prediction: Inhaled Vitamins
While working on a innovations for food I came up with inhaled vitamins. A quick check on Google reveals it will be available for sale in 2011. It’s getting harder to stay ahead of innovations.
I don’t spend much time examining food innovations so I’m not surprised the industry is farther ahead than other things I look at regularly. My last food innovation took 3 years to come out and that one I told to a product manager at Wrigley.
