Try out 43 Things

Also, it’d be nice to be able to add per-entry tags, since each entry will most likely deal with a different aspect of the goal being written about.

I wonder if they’ll be adding a method by which we can import our Twinkler lists into our list of goals here? It’s a feature I’d like to see.

I signed up for this, originally, simply because I was curious about what it would be like. I thought perhaps it’d simply be yet another in a long line of somewhat specialised community and/or blogging sites – which it is, but it’s also not.

Writing about things here just might motivate me to do them more than I’m motivated now, if for no other reason than I’ll want to forgo the embarassment of not having done what I said I was going to do. ;>

Also, I like the way things are organised by goal, by tag, by groups of people. It’s interesting to see how we relate to each other, and how we differ.

So I don’t think it’ll remain a novel thrill; it’ll become something that’ll be just as much a part of my online existence as my links log, and my journal.

One day I’ll have to ask “Why 43?” There’s probably something logical to it, but the answer is probably “Why not?”

The world is full of number sets of various kinds; we like them, we like groupings, they help us identify commonalities. They can be traps, too, since focusing too much on what’s common in a group distracts you seeing the uniqueness of the things that make up that group.
