When writing a new entry with a goal on 43 Things I often like to refer to a place that I’ve visited or something that I have consumed. I love the simplicity of using a tag in my post to refer to something on one of the other sites, but I keep forgetting the syntax. If the syntax was in the “formatting codes” section it would help, but being able to look it up would be good as well. Even better would be a sidebar or a popup that would have recent things consumed, places, entries, etc.
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.
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.
