How Can “I Rate My Day” ?
Had you a good or a bad day? Being a registered user of I Rate My Day you can rate your day. There are five different funny icons from Great! to Worst!. This Web 2.0 service offers a possibility to view own month rates on a graph and to view the rates of other users. There is a possibility to leave comments to the certain rates. Besides one can manage a buddy list and there exists an API that enables to build in a widget to a blog.
What I mostly like about I Rate My Day is that notwithstandig it looks like Twitter in some degree, it bears something special , that makes it different from thousands of other services that remake the idea of Twitter. Generally speaking I began to comprehend what makes such Web 2.0 services so popular. I guess one can compare e-mails writting and instant messaging with a twitter-like service and a service like livejournal. Personally I prefer very often to send a short ICQ message to someone than to send this message per email. Why? In ICQ no one expects that your message is long and includes beginning part, the actual message and the end like “sincerely yours”, “see you later” etc. For writing an email a certain inspiration is required. The same logic is when you just write “oh god, what a perfect weather!” or when you compose a posting for your online diary.
