The site 43 Things reminds me of all the New Year’s resolutions I have made and never kept. While I see the need to set goals, reflect upon them, and return to them often, I also consider this sort of thing very personal. I can’t imagine ever personally posting something like this online as a professional or for my personal life. I think this sort of thing can be imitated in a private wiki space, where it is a safer environment and more protected. I’m just not comfortable posting this kind of information in a public forum. Maybe it’s old-fashioned of me, but this is the first web 2.o tool that I’m not excited about for my own personal and professional use.
