stickK

The Stickk platform lets the user bet against themselves in order to better help them to make their goal. Started using it and so far its working well

I absolutely love the idea! With New Years resolutions around the corner, I can see this being used by many to tick to the goals they set for themselves. Having friends and peers to help push you to your goals can/will help immensely.

You can even add a "referee" to help keep you honest, and put money on the line (i.e., if you fail to meet the goal, donates to a cause you hate)..

I was really keen on this initially, but it’s misleading. Communities is nothing of the sort as there’s no interaction, just reporting, and it looks like no one reads anyone else’s anyhow. My biggest gripe, however, is the laziness displayed by the uk charity setup. The “anti climate change” choice I dont think has existed for 5 years. They’ve listed only the 3 major political parties - surely the extremes would be better? UKIP, the Greens, Momentum, the ERG, Tommy Robinson, Leave.EU.... and to top it all off, nearly half of those listed are....football teams?? I’m sure there are a few passionate female football fans, but seriously - heard of Brexit, maybe? The DUP & it’s anti-abortion stance? Lazy & gender biased. A simple couple of hours with Google could have come up with 100% better. Utterly unimpressed by these Yale Graduates, as they dont seem to know much outside of Amerca’s borders
