Social GoalSetting/ToDoList created by Erik Benson: 43 Things was a social networking website established as an online goal setting community.[2] It was built on the principles of tagging, rather than creating explicit interpersonal links (as seen in Friendster and Orkut). Users created accounts and then listed a number of goals or hopes; these goals were parsed by a lexer and connected to other people's goals that were constructed with similar words or ideas. This concept is also known as folksonomy. Users could set up to 43 goals, and were encouraged to explore the lists of other users and "cheer" them on towards achieving their goals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/43_Things (more)
