Louise means in the old days articles were broke into separate pieces, not like the hodgepodge of today. That's apparently what Louise means. #sabineheller
Listen, wealthy euros like to have dinner with a lot of people, go to the current incarnation of nightlife, attend good schools, and hang out on their own website.
Yeah they look silly to us, and us to them, and so on and so forth... but they're soooooo harmless in the big picture. Most of them are really nice, unassuming people. Some of them are comically clueless. A few of them are worth caring about. #asmallworld
ASMALLWORLD has been around for seven years and the concept is proven. Um, sure, as someone who was invited (and joined, for kicks) to ASW, I can honestly say I still don't understand what the whole concept is.
Of course, this could just be because I'm not actually a millionaire, so I shouldn't be taking "part" in it to begin with, right?
@MyrtleWilloughby: Well, the thing is a taco truck is business. But a stoop sale is random event that most people don't plan too much ahead of time for. So yeah, taco and other food trucks on Twitter and elsewhere makes sense. But if you think someone with a box of old baby clothes is going to make the effort to market beyond their own stoop or corner, that ain't happening. #asmallworld
@SpyMagician: Touche, though in my neck of the woods you could just ask your GPS to point you in the general direction of Park Slope, and you'd be good to go. (Old baby clothes and all. And this from someone who actually does consult craigslist for stoop sale listings. But point taken.) #asmallworld
@MyrtleWilloughby: Well, I will say this: I thought about such an idea myself. But basically if you walk, ride or drive through any "Brownstone" neighborhood on any given weekend, you’ll find it hard to avoid stoop sales.
But I will say this from this past summer: Outside of scoring a very nice wool scarf last sprint (for $1!) I have found nothing worth anything at local Boerum Hill stoop sales. But I have found TONS of great/useful stuff for free that people just tossed to the curb.
Now, an iPhone app where you can take a picture and geotag where you find stuff and then post/share that with others... That would be useful. So much good junk tossed aside. One picture and one post and BOOM, it can get connected to someone who needs it. #asmallworld
We'll see. I think he's just a pool shark. "Look everyone, Weinstein suckered me; come on in and get some too" And then wham! the leprechaun strikes. #asmallworld

Think about it: Neither idea would ever work.
