Mycro.Media.Mit.edu - Share Personal Stats

Are you wondering how much time people spend sleeping? What drinks they prefer? If you are, then you should try out Mycro.media.mit.edu. The folks from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology bring us this simple service that lets you see and share tiny bits of information from your everyday life. For instance, if you feel like you have the need, you can create a pie chart on what you’re spending your money. You’ll be able to find all types of graphs on the site, with an amazing variety of subject information. Anything from wakeup times, to amount of food consumed is charted by users. I don’t know if this information could come in handy some day, but it’s certainly good to have it there. A good use for the site could be to create graphs for school or work. Just add the data and the site does it for you, after which you can copy and paste them into a document.

“a web service that allows you to share snippets of information from the minutiae of daily life in the form of simple statistical graphs”

It’s a fun concept that could yield some very interesting results and uses.

Will people take time to do this? What’s the point of graphing how many hours you’re sleeping?
