Sir, where can I find the sugar?
Delhaize made me wonder
Apparently Delhaize Plantijn started with a new classification system by “task”? I noticed something was wrong when looking for vegetables to be used in a wok at the vegetables-corner. Wrong, I needed to look for this in the wok-corner. (I know one cannot hyperlink in real life but a small sign could have done the trick.) I wonder whether they applied card-sorting for this? btw the former vegetable corner is still in place but without the wok vegetables, but I guess duplication is also more difficult off-line.
It made me think of a joke by Philippe Geubels (a former Colruyt employee), describing a scene in a Colruyt (Belgian hard discounter) where a customer walks up to him:
Customer: “Sir, where can I find the Sugar?”
Employee: “Under the ‘S’!”

Small in Belgium but big on-line
Becoming famous in Belgium in one day is one thing, becoming a worldwide youtube star is something completely different. But nothing is impossible, this man parks his 1m49 wided car (Fiat Panda) in a 1m55 wide parking garage. Indeed one starts wondering, how do you get out and that is exactly why Eugène became famous.
The item was featured in a belgian television show (Man bijt hond/Man bites dog) and was afterwards covered by other channels and on-line in UK ( BBC – TOP gear) , Croatia, Poland and Korea
With over 1 million views before it fully reaches the US and China this could become a real youtube hit and show up in the viral video charts soon. Eugène explained to a Belgian newspaper (de standaard) how he was asked to give demonstrations for different TV stations and receives phone calls from all over the world. Eugène would like this stop (when he again parks his car in front of another camera) but it can only get worse for the man from Liedekerke, Belgium. (Facebook fan page in dutch)

Who sees what…
Google labs introduced a nice, small tool (Browser Size) to indicate how many people can see which part of your website. Apparently a lot of visitors (80%) are ending up with a browser window with a least 1000 x 550 pixels.
ps: Would Google also be measuring our shoe size when visiting google.com?
