what makes you subscribe to people?
Usually I’ll subscribe to someone if I find my self regularly checking their entries. Then I think Hm, I should probably subscribe to keep up with them… :)

How many subscribers do you have?
29, I hope I don’t lose one now… I always seem to lose one when I post about how many I have…

What is your best experience, comment, email, story, on 43 things?
Couldn’t pick! :D

Why do some of you want to know who your subscribers are?
I’m just curious to find out who finds my posts interesting!

Edit- Oh and I’m subscribed to you,I don’t know if I ever mentioned it! :)

So, I was just wondering “what makes you subscribe to people?”
If I know they’re subscribed to me I want to subscribe back, otherwise I guess just if I find them interesting

“How many subscribers do you have?”
I just checked… 23 people!

“What is your best experience, comment, email, story, on 43 things?” I don’t know!

“Why do some of you want to know who your subscribers are?”
I’m curious to know who would find me interesting!

I’m also subscribed to you and I know you’re subscribed to me, I don’t know who all my subscribers are though, but I would like to know! But ah well. I just think it’s cool that people are subscribed to me!

“what makes you subscribe to people?”
People who make me laugh
People who inspire me
People i look up to or that i aspire to be like
or maybe its just because i like your music taste ;)

“How many subscribers do you have?”
56

“What is your best experience, comment, email, story, on 43 things?”

..oh and the really fantastic people i have met on here.

“Why do some of you want to know who your subscribers are?” Is there something about not knowing that frightens you or not?
Human nature? I dont really mind not knowing.. although i can sometimes guess :)

what makes you subscribe to people?
I have to find them interesting and enjoy reading what they write.

How many subscribers do you have?
34

What is your best experience, comment, email, story, on 43 things?
I don’t really have one. There’s been lots of good times. I’ve had people support me when I was feeling bad about things and that is something that I always love.

Why do some of you want to know who your subscribers are?
I don’t mind not knowing who is subscribed to me. It might be nice to know some, but part of me just thinks that what if there was a way to find out who was subscribed to us and then it turns out like half of them are no longer active accounts?

So, I was just wondering “what makes you subscribe to people?”

Well, you’re the only one i’m subscribed to. I subscribed to you because you were subscribed to me. There is one other person who is subscribed to me but i don’t know who it is so i can’t subscribe to them as well. I don’t blame anyone for not subscribing to me, i’m rather morbid.

I also just find what you have to say interesting and enjoy finding out whats been happening. It nice to have someone to talk to.

“How many subscribers do you have?”

I have two subscribed to me – i’m subscribed to one person

“What is your best experience, comment, email, story, on 43 things?”

Hmmmm, i have no idea. Probably just about anything that is new or different…something that isn’t here. And helping people i guess, although i don’t really do that anymore, not here anyway.

“Why do some of you want to know who your subscribers are?” Is there something about not knowing that frightens you or not?

I don’t care if i don’t know who they are. I’m very private personally and don’t like giving away personal information unless its to someone i feel i can trust. I’m happy for people to keep their details in private because thats what i do and i think its only fair.

what makes you subscribe to people?
So many things have to be considerated. First, after a few chats with the person, I judge if s/he is interesting, if we get along well, etc. Then I usually subscribe and try it for a few days or weeks. If this person writes a lot (and by a lot, I mean texts that take over 10 minutes to read), I might unsubscribe because I never miss any entry by my subscribers, I read everything they write, and I have to deal with the time factor. I can’t allow myself 4 hours a day to only read my subscriptions! But actually I’m subscribed to 30 people and I succeed in reading everything. We must also think about the fact that English is not my first language, so I read a little more slowly than most of you and sometimes need to look up some words in a dictionnary. And there is also that if after a few days or weeks, I realize I’m not really concerned about what this person writes, I might just unsubscribe.

How many subscribers do you have?
30ish. I’ll go check… Okay! 36.

What is your best experience, comment, email, story, on 43 things?
Getting to know some other 43Ters more personnaly. Not necessarely in real life, but outside the website, like on MSN Messenger (like you do too, George!) and even texting with the cellphone. I keep in touch this way with some wonderful people that I can now call good friends. Those include Anne, Sinead, Mae, Hauki (still can’t tell her real name eh?), Kasey a little bit too. And I’ve spoken to OasisOfCalm a few times too and she’s nice. And Caiti too, but I haven’t spoken to her for a while. She’s really nice though! There are a few others that I’d like to meet outside the website too, but I think it’s kind of brazen to ask for an email address or a phone number to text.

Why do some of you want to know who your subscribers are? Is there something about not knowing that frightens you or not?
It’s not my case. I’ve got 36 subscribers and I think I know ten of them or something. I never asked my subscribers to identify theirselves or anything. I consider we have the right to be secretly subscribed to someone.

I had to repsond to you this way because 43 things is acting weird again when I try and respond directly to you :(

I feel the same way as you do. It could be a inspirational goal or comment, point of view, funny picture, or similar music, insameness or something unique. I think we all do the same thing, we subscribe to someone who excites us, displays warmth, beauty, fashion, humor, everything they do.

They might have an ongoing daily log about themselves or their children, or they make a connection with us, just like tou do Catherine. I know you are one of my first group of subscribers and I have always been one of your loyal subscribers as well.

I always loved your coolness, like a “rock star” someone to admire, to inspire me, suppot me, make something I say even more powerful because of a compliment or like poetic…I always thought of you as a dear and close friend, like a family on 43 things, a close knit community over the years, thank you for that. Kudos.

Love,

George :)
