Wondering why Amazon doesn’t have a single international page per item.

@franklywatson You’d think so. I assume it’s just way too tricky, and only trickier as the place gets bigger and bigger.
@franklywatson Yeah, the separate affiliate links would only add to the difficulties.
I wrote about Amazon’s lack of a single (international) page per product: gyford.com/phil/writing/2… (Following a Twitter discussion a while back)
@tomafro Well, there are only ever four main things.
@secretbean Yeah, but what about THE four main ones?
@cuica Why would you need another three? There are only four main films.
@secretbean They might be great, but are they the four main ones?
The second good list of the four main movies, from @topfife: Seven Samurai, Citizen Kane, Psycho & Star Wars.
The two best lists so far of the four main movies. First, from @undermanager: Gone With The Wind, A Bridge Too Far, Star Wars, Local Hero.
@topfife Ha ha, this is why I said “movies” in the original question. Forgot second time round.
@alicebartlett You too. (Besides, ‘Pepys: Origins’ is definitely right up there.)
@tomstuart Nice try in sucking up to the questioner!
@peterme Have you just arrived from the past? You don’t have to wear that top hat any more, by the way!
No correct answer to “What are the four main films?” yet. Most popular answer: Police Academies 1-4.
@blech @bobbiejohnson @iamdanw @blaine @tomtaylor Twirl might be better in many ways, but it’s not more of a main bar than Flake. Surely.
@cityofsound @tobybarnes My tactic while getting rid of mags has generally been to keep oldest and most recent. Haven’t regretted it yet.
@Zoonie @maryloosemore Thanks, but work to do, and all that…
@revdancatt Are they on anywhere at the moment?
What are the four main movies?
@maryloosemore Envious. And C4 aren’t streaming it online!
@JamesWeiner @iamdanw @blaine @tomtaylor Really? Not the Twix? It’s a different world in Midtown, obviously.
@iamdanw @blaine @tomtaylor @jamesweiner Having said that. No Dairy Milk? WTF? That’s as main a chocolate bar as it gets!
@iamdanw @blaine @tomtaylor @JamesWeiner Twirl?! Bounty?! And much as I love a Double Decker, I’m with James on the four main ones.
@Techmeetups How do I unsubscribe from your email newsletters, which I never signed up for? I’ve tried asking twice via email, but no joy.
@timoarnall Ooh nice, but spendy. I’m excited by this month’s new cameras, having put off buying one for too long…
