These websites all seem to accomplish similar feats, but with a different topic. Flickr.com allows users and browsers to "explore through tags". Also, there are many different sections and subcategorizations from which you can probably find exactly what you're looking for. The most impressive thing that I saw here was that photos were organized under many different key words and functions, not just one, so clearly they have been taken off "the shelf", and given the freedom that digital media allows.
43Things.com is really peculiar, in that I don't particularly see the need or practicability of it, but clearly many of its hundreds of thousands of viewers would disagree with me. It is interesting though that through postings, people can comment in response to provide criticism and/or help towards the particular goal or task mentioned, thereby creating a network of people with similar desires/goals/experiences. This network could possibly be the most beneficial aspect of this website, connecting people in a real and very human way, through shared experiences and guidance.
