New.MyLifeIsAverage.com - Twitter Meets Mundane Events

There is a song by British art rockers XTC named “The Everyday Story of Smalltown”. It describes the routine of a place whose name speaks for itself. If we were to find its online equivalent, then checking this site out should be the first thing to do.

This online resource gathers together micro messages that describe a mundane existence at its finest. Some examples will speak for themselves: “Today, I did some math homework. It took me about half an hour. That's how long it usually takes”, and “Today I bought popcorn at the movies. The guy told me to enjoy the movie. I said, ‘Thanks, you too.’”

Funny enough, some claim that this is what Twitter should be all about. It is not, obviously, for the mere fact that nobody wants to know about these things that are too mundane to be comfortable, in the same reason that one does not watch a movie which mirrors the most tedious aspects of life willingly – one looks for at least a shred of entertainment. This site won’t provide you that. But it will let you understand micro-sharing a bit better for sure, and why the formula works so well.

“Life is pretty normal today.”

The site showcases what makes Twitter so special by providing us with a reverse use.

What will make people keep coming back to it once they have read a couple of messages?
