Chickapedia an on line chicktionary

Sooner or later someone was going to get a bright idea and mashup a live and user editable wiki with a list of the hottest women on the planet. Chickipedia is born.

Chickapedia bills itself as the world’s largest web-based, wiki database of hot chicks on the planet. The Chickapedia lists a chick bio page per chick. There is of course a profile complete with an image, multiple photos, and if the chick has reached the Hollywood level of chickdom her page will even list movie posters and movie archive and magazine covers along with a chick’s achievement list.

At current there are just over 6,000 chicks listed in Chickapedia with over 80,000 chick pics. The profiles are listed and search-able either alphabetically or by overall category page. The category pages cover the basics of chickdom. TV, Film, Music, Sports, Fashion, Politics, Business and Misc. Or one could search by body type. Yes I said body type. Shape and form are a search-able thing on the Chickapedia database. Chickapedia has body type details for each of its chicks.

I give it a week before it is totally flooded with the MySpace and FaceBook chicks. Enjoy it before it is spammed to hell and back with the same old “let’s hook up some time – E-Mail me here!” MySpace garbage.

New Grocery Shopping platform released

Grand Rapids, Mich. based Meijer Inc., which operates 185 supercenters throughout Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, will now begin offering grocery and dry-good items bought in bulk from its Web site, Meijer.com.

Now open for business, the new “Grocery By The Case” program will feature more than 2,000 products available for purchase. Meijer estimates that shoppers will save at least 5 percent when buying items by the case as opposed to purchasing them individually. Grocery By The Case will be an additional site section found on Meijer.com.

In addition to groceries, the program will include household and cleaning supplies, laundry products, pet food and hundreds of other items. They will offer free shipping for orders of $150 or more, and all orders will arrive within five to seven days from the time of the online purchase. This marks the third grocery program that the Midwest retailer has introduced in the past three months.

Last month, Meijer began test-marketing a personal shopping program called Grocery Express that enables shoppers to order groceries online and have them personally delivered to their car at the local Meijer parking lot. In July, the company launched Meijer Mealbox, a Web-based widget that allows customers to plan a week’s worth of meals in minutes by providing access to thousands of Meijer recipes, ingredients, coupons and special promotions.
