UPS Widget

[packagemanuk]

UPS recently ran a competition in Europe to unofficially name the UPS widget, a little screenmate that helps keep track of your shipments.



Is it well-known in the States and Canada?

The name chosen, at random, was Brownie!

Widget sees everything? Widget must be in Loss Prevention.

When I first saw the title of the post I got very interested. I thought maybe you were a bean counter on the inside that was going to enlighten us on how UPS plans its operations.

In business school a "widget" is a fictional item that a company produces. I thought you were going to tell us what a "widget" at UPS would be.

Obviously our product is service, but I was thinking our operations were based on an average (and price weighted) of all our services from EAM to ground. And I thought you were going to tell us that.

I was dissapointed to learn you are talking about a freaking puppet. God help me.

It is not a pupet, nor is it a piece of Christmas Poo; it is an application you load on your desktop that keeps track of RSS feeds, news, and UPS packages you track
