People often need extra motivation or encouragement to achieve the goals that they set for themselves.  Without keeping track of their progress or setting a deadline, many people will forget about their goals altogether and never complete the necessary tasks to accomplish them.  Wishbomb is a cool product on the web that’s aim to prevent this from happening.  The website acts as persona l progress tracker for your goals.  Users create a profile on the site, add goals, create deadlines, and track every step of the process through the site.  Wishbomb users have “wishblogs” in which they write about their efforts to complete their goals and the challenges they personally face.  The site also offers specially tailored online resources for your specific goal when you need help knowing what to do next.  The site encourages users to join for goals as varied as starting your own business, losing weight, running a marathon, learning more about computer repair or redecorating your home. 

Wishbomb claims one of the most important factors as to why it works is the public nature of its users’ goals.  Users who post goals on the site must also share these goals with a certain number of friends so others know of the users’ commitment.  In theory, the psychological effect of publicly putting your goals out there motivates users to do more about their goals so they won’t be publicly embarrassed.  Wishbomb makes sure that your friends don’t have to use Wishbomb for this feature to work properly.  The website integrates with Facebook so you can inform your friends and invite them to comment on your goal progress without forcing them to sign up for another online account.  To push this concept even further, Wishbomb has a feature that they call “GoalZone”.  A GoalZone is a space where you and a chosen friend compete to accomplish the exact same goal in the fastest amount of time.  This further increases motivation by introducing a competitive element to the process.

Wishbomb is currently available on the web, but has no mobile applications for tablets or smartphones.  Get remote tech support if you have trouble navigating the website or using any of its features.
