find out how 43people.com could be useful besides being a tribute site to my subscribers and celebs

do all those things. And it waited here all this time, patiently expecting me to show up again, and provide an account of what i did. So yes, definitely worth it!

I really don’t use 43 People at all. It hasn’t helped me to meet new people or reconnect with old friends. I have other social and professional networking tools at my disposal.

i have no idea what this whole thing was about, but yah, so now i have one less thing to do.

and the subscription feature is very well done there. I wonder whether I’ll be using some of the other site features? It does look like the private messaging feature could be useful as well. Some bugs, but I’ll report them once the dust has settled a bit. They might be gone by then anyway.

It is cool to see the blogs & flickr accounts of the people I subscribe to as well as all the various 43* entries.

I have been playing around with the subscribe function of 43 people. Not only can you track people’s activity on the 43sites… but you can even add feeds to them. So I’ve added people who aren’t even on 43____ yet, and put their blog feed there, so http://www.43people.com/subscriptions is becomeing my feed reader for friends.

Once you get past the initial giddiness of being invited into something exclusive, there’s not really anytthing to make ya wanna go back. I’ll stay a part of it, and check it out every couple of weeks for shits and giggles tho.

I like it, but I haven’t really gotten into it too much… primarily because I focus on 43things… but I guess if I come across someone I really enjoy and who I converse with alot on here I’ll add them… but nothing I take too seriously, unless I happen to fall in love with them or something (who knows?) :P

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE NEW “I WANT TO MEET THIS PERSON” BUTTONS ON 43 THINGS. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

It is hard to measure usefulness i suppose. I can say thet beyond the initial kick of finding 43 things.com and adding my list to it, i have been in limbo for the mandatory period following the honey moon. Too many things are tugging at my ear, beggin to be attended to, for me to have kept the intense relation i had with this service/site/community in the beginning. Now i have begun coming back, considering more carefully the list i made, and start thinking about this as a tool to actually get some things done. So far it has made me begin/take up/restart some issues that i have had for years, hidden in some drawer ot other. So at the moment i must say i feel optimistis about the usefulness, but i think it requires me as a user to take it a little bit more seriously than i see many here do.
