Flickr and leefjedoel: both addictive

My beloved Flickr has turned 4 years old 10 days ago. I find it amazing how addictive Flickr really is, there are times that I can’t be bothered to check or upload a photo but I’ll always come back. I can look at the Explore page forever without becoming bored. It really gives inspiration to look at some of the photos posted on Flickr.



Another thing that I find inspiring are the goals on our leefjedoel.nl . Every time when I take a peek at the new goals on the site I ‘m thinking: “hmm this is something I want to achieve”. I can easily get addicted by looking at the new goals that people come up with. That’s probably the reason that I’ve got over 80 goals.

My goals

We recently soft-launched our new web 2.0 initiative: leefjedoel.nl (translated live your goals). This community website helps you to list the goals in your life, work on them and most important: share your progress with others. When you get connected to people who have the same goals as you, it gets easier to stay motivated.

It's quite a big project, fully developed in Ruby on Rails. But we’re not through yet! The beta version of leefjedoel.nl has just been released and we’re squashing the last few bugs as we speak.

Being part of the team who created this site, I already have over 30 goals . I take pride in the list that I’ve created over the last few weeks. The list of my goals really tells something about me, I’m in to sports and cooking. I’m moving to Amsterdam in a couple of weeks, so there are some goals involving that event as well on the list. The number one goal for me is making this site a complete success, what is yours?
