Shared Goals and Folksonomies in 43 Things

Shared Goals and Folksonomies in 43 Things: "The problem is that a lot of people apparently don't search for previously established goals similar to theirs, and so they just make a new entry that duplicates an existing entry but uses a slightly different title.

As noted by Clay Shirkey, the real value of using folksonomies comes from 'aggregate interaction', or to use smaller words, when other people assign tags to your data."

Funny that the example used was "David Allen's Getting Things Done".

Seems like a fine idea to have a "collected thing" that gathers goals. Looks abandoned, though. If more people tagged their goals 43things or 43 things they would be easier to find. I guess that you could adopt the goal, tag it, and complete it.
