With Google’s new OpenSocial API it would be possible to share my 43 Things, 43 Places, 43 People, All Consuming, Lists of Bests on other social networking sites. All Consuming is my preferred reviewing / consuming tool, so it would be great for it to work with other social networking sites in an open and exciting way.
How old is civilization? How plausible is a colony on Mars? Where did the word “hell” come from? What should I name my cat? Everyone has Questions. Big questions, little questions, questions both unanswered and answered. What if there were a website where people posted the things they were curious about? Collected links to relevant articles? Even created research proposals!
The Robot Co-Op already helps people answer some pretty big questions like “What should I do next,” “What should I read,” “What are the best…” etc. but it gets pretty pointless-seeming for me to create a huge list of “I want to learn…” on 43 things, when noone else wants to learn, say, the influence of written language on spoken language.
I couldn’t resist the temptation to prank a bit. But nope, I’m already taken, at the best place (anyone who doesn’t believe the same thing about their workplace should add this to their list).
Consolidating items (especially movies) would be so nice. For example, eliminating the Widescreen, Full Screen and Collector’s Editions of movies and just having one listing for each film would make things so much better.
As Chris said, I’ve had to add multiple editions of movies in order to cross items off my Lists of Bests, which is kind of annoying.
I’ve become completely dependent on All Consuming to keep track of what I’ve consumed and I love how it connects to other sites. With some nifty improvements such as being able to send text messages or email to update what I’m consuming it would make something very good even better.
The duplications and various DVD versions of films make it challenging to keep track of something that often is the same so it can seem as if you’ve consumed more than you have and in the way that it links up with Lists of Bests you sometimes may have 2 or 3 different versions of the same thing to make them show up.
