Toronto Meetup

August 18, 2006 6:06 AM

Is anyone here on Consumating? They're having a Toronto meetup tonight beginning at 9 to 9:30 at Paupers on Bloor Street (539 Bloor Street West, just east of Bathurst). Sorry for the short notice, but it might be a nice time if you can spare a few hours from your breathless social lives;-)

Judging by the tags, it looks like only Capn and Jacquilynne have hit the trifecta of being Consumaters, MeFites and Torontonians.

Though I just love how the Consumating search engine considers Vancouver and Halfax to be "within 25 miles" of me.

I used to be on there and one day ... *poof* ... my ad was gone. I assume I was just too cute for the database and was somehow throwing the whole thing outta whack.

I'm going. I quickly remade my deleted account.

Hmm, I should add a Mefi tag to my profile now that I've signed up here as well. I'm not in Toronto though, unfortunately.

SassHat, I'm still sick. Do me a favor and wrestle VeganBananas and TheKarin to the fucking ground and make out with them for me?

And Consumating's definitely a place for young'uns.

Consumating is okay, but actually I found Fucking more to my liking.

I'm really only on Consumating because they're owned by CNet and it came up in one of my early interviews. I signed up so I could find some relevent things to say about it in later interviews.

And I just logged in and apparently 7 people don't like me. Which is not exactly encouraging me to log in every again, ya know?

I signed up for Consumating when I was bored a few days ago, and I'm just now realizing it appears to be a dating site. Heh, whoops.

It's not really that, danb, or at least it isn't at all effective as that. You can indicate whether you're in a relationship or not. Plenty of people on there just use it for the sort of virtual screwing around your partner would never object to - posting funny pictures, or funny answers to the weekly questions, chatting, and tagging each other.

I'm on there also, but I'm not tagged "metafilter". Don't live in Canada either, but there you go.

Should we be expecting any Metababies 9 months from now?

I just signed up with the wrong e-mail address. I'm not sure why I try to ever do anything before coffee.

Well, it used to be (and that's why I signed up), but now it seems to have evolved into another stupid social networking thing.

Perfect! I was looking for another stupid social networking thing. Facebook didn't move quickly enough and MySpace hurts my brain. I need to get my time-wasting in, here.
