During my market visits, I spot lots of things in the retail distribution, this time I was shocked by the size of the hair gel category in this supermarket in Cairo, really interesting to see this quantity of brands in a category where in some countries it has much much less shelf space than the one below in the picture.

Google’s homepage is sporting a special logo today, indicating that the company is now nine years old.

The domain registration of Google.com took place on September 15th, 1997, but the actual incorporation date of the company wasn’t until either September 7th or September 27th of 1998.

With today’s special logo, it looks like Google is acknowledging the latter as the official birth date.
