You know how sometimes you are surfing the 'net. You click a link here, it leads to you clicking a link there, and so on and so forth. Well, I was doing that today and I ended up at a website called 43 Things. I'm already addicted.
I haven't "researched" it, per se, but the style is similar to flickr , so who knows, flickr could own it. I have no idea.
So, I got to this site and thought "What a neat idea! Having a list of things you want to do with your life." It can pretty much be anything you want. You can have one thing on your list if you choose, but the max is 43. Why 43? Again, no idea. I joined right away and was pretty sure I wouldn't be able to come up with 5 things. I thought it would be a list that would take me a couple of days to compile. Boy was I wrong. Five minutes later I was already on the 44th item - time for some re-evaluation!
It's been fun so far and I only joined a couple of hours ago. You compile your list, keep track of how you're doing, you can post updates on each "goal." And there are even some blogging hosts (like typepad) that you can post directly to right from the page.
I think it's pretty cool - I mean, the list can be whatever you want - silly, serious, a mix of both. It's kind of cool now because on some of the things on my list there are 10 people or less, so it's a smaller "team" and better chance to meet people and "cheer" them on (this all makes sense once you see the site). Some goals have a few hundred people in them.
Go, check it out. If you click here you can access my list. It's not in any particular order right now...other than the order I added them in. Join! Tell me your username! Let's be friends - I'll cheer you on!
(I created the "clean out my email inboxes" goal. Tee hee)
