use 43things to develop collaborative Ultraversity work

I’ve noticed that 43things have now added the functionality so that you can subscribe to each others’ activities on the website quite easily. It’s quite prominent in the right hand side of members’ pages, a bit like adding contacts in Flickr. It may not be worth doing if you already use RSS, but it’s probably worth trying out.

I’ve been using 43things to track SMART tasks in relation to one Ultraversity Module, and it seems to have worked very well for me. It helped me to organise my own plans much better than if I’d simply maintained them offline in a document somewhere, and it allowed comments from collaborators in a way that doesn’t happen so easily with other peer review processes.

So that’s just one way in which 43things seems to be working well so far.

I wonder what else might be achieved by spelling out goals in here?

This goal was created so that we can learn better how the concept of “teams” and shared goals works withing 43things and to produce an RSS feed of 43things activity by Ultraversity people. So let’s see how far we can push it :-)

Feel free to invite more individuals to the same goal, I think there may well be some people who will appreciate being introduced to this useful facility.
