The fourteenth idea for my 365 social ideas is a somewhat silly little gadget website idea, but none-the-less an idea, that I would like to share with you all: a service, that tells you when it is your next round birthday in all time units, that you could think of. Why did I come up with this idea, you might ask? Because I some time ago found out, that I missed my 10,000 birthday (that is the 10,000th day since my birth), which occurs when you are 27 years and 138 days (or 139 days depending on leap years).

This got me thinking, when do I then turn e.g. 1 billion seconds? (that’s around 31 years and 251/252 days plus some). Or some round number of minutes, hours, weeks, or other more or less exotic units of time? Then I thought, why not build a more general purpose for-the-fun-of-it website, where you can enter you birth date and time and it will output which round number is your next birthday in which unit.

For that purpose I bought mynextbirthday.com, which is still a nice blank website, as I as usual did not get any further than the invention. Oh, and if you decide this could be fun, I’ll throw in the domain for free as well ;).

Why?

Because it’s fun, it will create a short hype and everyone can relate to it.

What’s next?

Do with this idea whatever you like – expand, implement, trash or forget. Just remember, that if you use it in anyway make sure to attribute me according to the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License, that all these 365 Social Ideas are published under.
