What I...

...want/am consuming. There's a couple of websites where you can record 43 things you want (www.43things.com) and books/videos you're consuming (www.43.allconsuming.net). In the first you make public a list of things youre after. Another person can go along and see all the people who want the same thing. I guess the idea is to then encourage each other or share success stories once you've achieved your goal. There's also a list of the most popular goals. It can be quite intersting to see how many others are after the same things as oneself.
However, the individuals all seem rather isolated and I dont yet see much activity between fellow goal seekers.
Also, the site wont be much use if people are only going there to announce their resolutions du jour and never popping back to help others in the same categories or not even reporting upon their progress.

The latter site records a list of books you might be reading or music you maybe listening to. Again without other people commenting upon or expanding upon the why and wherefore the site wont be much use. Why not comment upon Amazon or just write your own blog.
