Thanks, amarcus, but I needed cities too.
Thanks, guys/girls. Looking at the forums on geonames it seems like it's over kill and that it may be slow reading such a large database, and mondial seems to be the same. I think I may spend a day or two typing in the countries and cities myself!
Yep. That's what I thought. Thanks. Surely, if someone did this, s/he could charge a little for it to all the other developers out there.

I've got an app that needs to list countries and major cities in a couple of drop down boxes. I found one but it costs $1049.95 - http://www.download32.com/geodatasource-world-cities-database--gold-edition--i24139.html. Anyone know of anything a little cheaper, like free?
This won't help with the current symptoms you have, but when you've recovered:
The best thing you can do is to switch hands frequently through the day. The second best thing you can do is work out in the gym regularly. This will strengthen your fingers, wrists and arms.
I use the back of business cards. They're tough enough to sit on, easy to carry and small enough not to write too much.

Really! www.TalkAboutADate.com
Why don't you do a small prototype in both, and see where each one takes you? I'm not really a programmer, but I've got a dating web app running on around 50 pages of php.
Thanks again. That's good to know.
I am trying to announce a new dating app. It's just that when I first posted the project yesterday at getafreelancer.com the bids I got seemed to be the spam kind. So, today I added 'whitehat only' to the project description. I also added the requirement to 'write new ads around the basic template - in good english - and post to around 5 - 10 cities a day.' I'm trying to make it a legit promotional project. Here's the url:
https://www.getafreelancer.com/projects/269701.html. This is what I meant when I said 'borderline' in my original post. Thanks, again.
Yep. That's what I thought. Thank you. I did say _whitehat_ only in the project I posted on getafreelancer. By the way what's OT?

Here begins the life of a twitter-like online dating site. www.TalkAboutADate.com. I've thought about using the above for classified ads submissions, forum postings, etc., to promote the site. However, I think this is borderline spam, so I'm phrasing the ads carefully. Suggestions would be gratefully received. Thank you.
How the heck did you do a -1 point? :)
It's based on twitter's functionality, but, we just launched, so it'll develop from there. There is no filtering yet. Right now we're providing a place for 'datees' to talk to each other. You just don't get that on other dating sites.

Built on a LAMP stack. Anyone think there'll be scaling problems? http://www.TalkAboutADate.com
That's why I suggested a simple app first. Say, something that puts you on a list of 'looking for a date' - which other people can look at. Anyway, I'm not taking the Facebook route - too many problems, two of which you've pointed out.
Right now I'm a little more concerned with scaling the app. The site just launched - I'm sure it's going to change over time.

There is only ever the present moment. Time does not exist. :)
Yes. Lot's of potential in Facebook. Could start with a simple dating app and work up from there.

How about a dating service that is.. well.. twitterlike. Just launched, so there's not much there yet.
http://www.TalkAboutADate.com. Can't promise it'll get you laid. Anyone know of an api that'll help you do that? :)
