From Print to Tablets

Spotted on Dutch Cowboys: an infographic, which I'm a huge fan of, about the evolution of print and the introduction of the tablet:

Okay, quite easy but nevertheless funny. Don't know if social media specialists agree on this one but I find there's a bottom of truth in it. I was in the 'I need to pee'-world when I catched this one. Thanks to @AlainGerlache

How Esquire brings pages to live

Esquire is really an innovator when it comes to test new things and enrich its magazine. Not a very recent example but one I like:

Zinneke? Never heard of it!

By using this term to describe themselves, Brusselers celebrate their multicultural background and ethnic diversity.

In our dialect, a zinneke is a mongrel dog and by extension, a person of mixed ethnic origin, just like the Brussels dialect itself which is a mixture of French and Flemish with influences from Spanish.(From the time when the Low Countries were under Spanish rule)

Brussels build up around a river called the Senne (FR)/Zenne (NL). Some say the name "zinneke" was used to refer to the dogs that roamed around near the river, others that it refers to the fact that they deserved to be thrown into the river.
