History is made one moment at a time, day by day. And for every person born, there is a unique history surrounding their birthdate. I believe that we are all curious to learn more about our birthdates. We want to see how many other cool people were born the same day we were and whether anything notable happened that day. Ruslan Morozov’s The Day I Was Born answers that question by unlocking and allowing us to remember that history.

Here’s how it works: the application requests a birthdate: day, month, and year. Once it has that information, The Day I Was Born generates even more information associated with the supplied date of birth.

What kind of information? How about Western Zodiac, Chinese Zodiac, Earth elements and stones associated with your birthdate? Not enough, you say? Add in numerological elements including life path and destiny, historical accounts of your birthdate across time, births and deaths, and any holidays coinciding with the supplied date. That’s a lot of stuff, right?

I thought so.

The Day I Was Born also allows you to share the information with friend via SMS (iPhone users only), email, or Twitter.

The Day I Was Born is an entertaining app, but once you’ve read through everything associated with your date of birth, it’s usefulness to you is probably going to be fairly limited. But you can use it to look up your friends’ dates of birth, your boy- or girlfriend’s, as well as other family members’ info, too.

It will keep you entertained for a while and probably tell you some things you may not have known about yourself and others. It’ll definitely increase your awareness of history. And if you’re into astrology or numerology, there’s a lot of stuff that you’ll probably appreciate knowing about yourself and others.

There’s not much I could suggest to add to this app, but I think it would be cool see or link to the front page of a major newspaper on a given birthdate. I once went tooling around in my university library’s microfiche and -film section because I wanted the see the front page of the New York Times on my birthdate. I do, however, recognize that the Times certainly wouldn’t be the best paper for everyone depending on their homeland.
