What's on the "back" of a webpage?

On a light note, whoever deals with Social Media every day will surely smile in front of some of these hypothetical illustrations. Imagining what really goes on "behind" Twitter, if the page actually had a "back", sure adds poetry to the countless personal and business tweets we read every day.

New Cable Cars to Cross the Thames, By Mace Group

2,500 people every hour. It's the capacity of London's shiny new transportation wonder: the cable car system that will connect the two shores of the east Thames. The fascinating landmark was designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre and will be realised by the Mace Group. The Group already has a portfolio of iconic London schemes including the London Eye, the British Museum Great Court and a good deal of commercial developments, like City Hall. At The Think Tank, we were happy to spot this latest beauty.

50-millimetre steel cables will be stretched over one kilometre across the Thames. Reaching from the Greenwich Peninsula at The O2 up to the Royal Docks at ExCeL, the 34 cars involved will do the hourly work of 40 buses. No wonder that Mark Reynolds, Mace's deputy chief executive, called it "an incredibly exciting new river crossing for London". Transport for London has approved, and the £40 million project could well be up and running for next summer's 2012 Olympic Games.

3D Origami Phone!

True enough - if thousands of traditional phones are still produced every day, their shape has surely not changed much. Sleek design, different materials, but a headset is still a headset. This is quite surprising because the actual components have been quite miniaturized over time. Yet the shape and size have maintained substantially its original characteristics, surely for the ergonomics. Designer Chengyuan Wei on the other hand designed the amazing Origami Phone.

Extremely minimal, it lies flat - but when you pick it up to answer or dial out, it turns into a tri-dimensional object, suited to the hand. Have a look on the designer's website for more brilliant ideas.
