43 things

Today's topic isn't as excting as the last 2 but it's pretty interesting in such a way that the "life to do" list keeps you focused on your goals (short or long terms). Compared to my black book or my cellphone where i put all my schedules and stuff to accomplish, 43 things(I have no idea why it's 43) is made public and anyone could have access to it. You could b cheered by strangers and get some thumbs up to keep you going, you could share your own experience and advices on stuff you've already accomplished with those with the same aspirations.
You can connect with locals in your city and around the world if you plan on going places; you could also meet interesting people; track what you're consuming and get some advices and recommendations and so many other stuff you could do.
The site itself is really straight forwad to use and require to create an account that has to be activated through a link sent in your email account.
Add your to do stuff and tag them, in case of already done stuff, the site provides an option of marking the event as already done. Beside every entry there's a statistic of the number of people with the same tag as your entry and the site provides also a maximum of 5 cheers. You could also publish your experience after completing a goal by a certain date and "create your own consequences".
You could also reorder all your entries by choosing the "Re-order" link and choose the hierachy of your things. This list can be put onto the blog by going into "Edit Your Account" and choosing"Post on blog". From the provided list of blog platforms, choose the one and provide the required information for identifification and finally save the new setting. Unfortunatelly I haven't seen mine appearing on my blog as i was expecting, maybe it takes time before the list is uploaded, let's wait and see...
This is a cool thing to try and would be really nice if someone you don't know reminds you of something you've put onto your life to do list.
My list is on the following link
