Why?

I started this blog as part of Calgary Public Library's initiative to get staff more aware of some of the web 2.0 technologies out there. It's based on the "23 Things" program that the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library has, which in turn was based on a list of goals that a user created on the 43 Things web page. The "23 Things" program was very successful, and I hope that our program gets staff interested and excited by the things that they learn.

Are you interested in the 23 Things program?

What about the original 43 Things list?

43 Things is actually a really neat website, "the world's largest goal setting community." I loved reading through some of the more common goals that users on the site have posted about: eat healthier, learn Spanish, learn French, learn Japanese, get a tattoo, etc. Some of the goals listed on the site I've already done: watch LOST Season 3 (LOVE this show,) shave my head, and learn to swim. And others, are just a bit weird: get off house arrest.
