TechCrunch recommends Kindersay to parents with young children

TechCrunch: Dear Parents: Save Some Money, Use Kindersay.

I have not read comments at TechCrunch in a long time and I did this time and there are 40 right now

I also subscribed to the feed for this post as there are already many other good recommendations like http://www.poissonrouge.com/

2do: When I click on the feed icon next to the URL on firefox, am not given a option to subscribe to the feed’s comments and only the main site’s feed

idea: A feature within the comments that will help with any round up post.

Let users sort/rate comments using Scriptaculous Lists with PHP ( http://www.gregphoto.net/sortable/ )

See an example @ Namaste Netizen - Colophon

I would sort the other useful sites / comments to the top and our collective sorted comment list could be the ( starting point for your ) round up post :-)
Summary / Go To
1. Kindersay.com
2. poissonrouge.com
3. starfall.com
4. ..

btw: best wishes to ben and mena trott on the new arrival :-)

marketing the crazy horse paris singapore

Someone at work mentioned about the Crazy Horse show

It looks like the price could have been a reason for poor attendance apart from advertising restrictions.

what if : the attendees could pass the ticket stub to another and the another could get the ticket at a discounted price

Ofcourse the tickets might need to be redesigned with 3 sections: 1) admit one 2) souvenir (donot litter) 3) pass it along

Could the attendance have been better ? Is this allowed ?

I could be in Marketing too. Read Seth Godin

I have not seen it happen anywhere (especially in Singapore). Have you ?

Googled and found some interesting posts..

crazyhorseparis.com.sg : “due to popular demand” final show will be on Sun 4 Feb 2007

tomorrow.sg: Why you should watch Crazy Horse Paris before they finally leave Singapore

onthereddot.com: ignorance is not virtue - reminds me of the movie: blast from the past. Please recommend similar movies

btw: i see that chewing gum of therapeutic value has been allowed into Singapore since 2004 following the United States-Singapore Free Trade Agreement
