It’s been slightly over 6 months now and it looks like the Gotta’ Get Goals interactive research project has finally come to a close.

Alex,
Thanks for compiling this list of people’s goals. After all this time, it was nice to go back and re-read my own list, and to see that I am still on track to accomplish all of them!
Thanks again for taking the time to put together this project, Alex. I know how time consuming this type of thing can be!
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the compiling.
Like Aaron mentioned, it’s always as instructional to look at the goals in retrospect as it was in thinking them through and listing them in the first place.
Great meme.
ps: when’s the next?
pps: you know, it’d be really great if these were compiled into an ebook or on a wiki?
Hi Alex,
thanks for the compilation. It was pleasure to participate in such great meme.
It’s also wonderful to see that many people try to accomplish the same great goals.
What a great list of sites. I will be off reading now…
Great list! I loved participating and will enjoy looking around!

I’m glad you guys enjoyed the list. I’m going to have a similar project in the works soon, hopefully you guys will participate
Thanks for posting this, Alex. It *was* interesting to look back and see where I was vs. where I am… and I’m pretty happy with the results.
This couldn’t have come at a better time.
Couldn’t have come at a better time? Is this something you would like to share with the rest of the comment box? =)
OK, since you asked.

The reminder of all that I have accomplished and am still moving toward… what a great motivator to keep on showing up!
I for one am definitely glad that you’re around. Keep growing and sharing my friend, that’s what it’s all about!
Thanks for taking the energy to go through the posts and pull out the top goals, Alex, and thanks for guiding the project. I’ve been looking forward to the results.
No trouble at all Rick - at your service
Ok, it took me 3 days, but I have finally finished reading some of each of these sites. There are some amazing ones on this list.
3 days isn’t bad at all, it took me longer. Want to come work for me next time I have to count stuff? =)
