actors must act with other actors- sort of like... a team? the must be... directed, sort of like a manager?

Do actors have to know and understand the other actors they're working with in the same way? I'm guessing not seeing how rarely you see a gang of actors that sticks together through several movies.

Jud Apatow is known for working with Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, Quentin Tarantino is known for working with Uma Thurman and Michael Madsen, Martin Scorcese is known for working with Robert DeNiro and Leonardo DiCaprio, Tim Burton is known for working with Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter...

The list goes on and on. Software is special, but it isn't that special.

So the reason twitter closing its API as as an attempt to maintain their 'walled garden'? Rather than building a sustainable competitive advantage they are freezing out developers and hoping for the best?

Perhaps it is part of a larger scheme, that leads to monetization?

Thanks for the input! We have plenty of local/ independent stores signed up, and want to have a huge focus on that.

Baby Registries are coming up soon :)

We provide a personal concierge and service unparalleled by Amazon. Amazon does have a large collection of item's but they don't partner with local boutiques!

(To be clear: the amazon service lets you add anything with a website, not just items sold through the site)

My wife and I started a similar site awhile back, originally just for our family. After realizing there were so many other competing sites out there we put it on the backburner. Never even really finalized a name/URL.

This has gotten comically out of control and is probably saying something about the wedding industry.
