I’m late to this one but have caught up on most of what transpired. Well said. I was shocked when I read the employer-threatening tweets and I agree…I just can’t see a way for the founders of Geeklist to convince me that they deserve my participation again.

I’m still waiting for mine to be deleted. But I’m pretty sure they’ve got quite a backlog now.

Update: Geeklist deleted my account. For a moment, I thought this post was what elicited a reaction beyond "we haven't implemented account deletion yet" - but it turns out they're doing a brisk little business nuking accounts on request (check their Twitter feed).

Indeed, Steve – but I don’t think I’ve ever noticed them getting as much shelf share back home as I’ve seen here.

Regarding us-vs.-them: My bad if the tongue-in-cheek tone didn’t come across. And of course “us” and “them” are broad categories to the point of silly, and entirely socially constructed to begin with. Etc.

Actually, we have products for that here, too. The fact is that they ARE like us. But then “us” and “them” are far too general.

And I think Tide Cold Water was originally marketed not only as a money/energy saver, but also as a “dark color” specialist.

I even remember TV commercials featuring somebody’s goth daughter.

Americans wear black, too, Brad!!

Oh, yeah. Don’t forget the show at the Moulin Rouge – It’s fantastic.
If you have insomnia, go for a walk and get a gyro or whatever down near the river – excellent.

B suggest 3 three things (or more), to see;
D’Orsay (the impresionist and post impresionist exihibit) and the cafeteria was pretty good too.
Take a bus tour of the city
Versailles (take the train) unbelieveable oppulance
Girverny (my spelling needs to be excused please) again, the train – great country restaurant near by – Home of Monet
Rodan museum – the kiss, gates of hell, etc.
And, of course Mona Lisa at the Louvre but the most fun is looking for clues to the holy grail or swiss cheese…
