I got alerted to this site as the result of some marketing thinking by one of our clients other agencies - its a totally cool idea and has this really excellent quality like you're managing to jump into the lives of others who are miles and miles away, and whom you know nothing of, for a few seconds or minutes.
When so many big internet sites make the world seem even more same-y than yr high street already is (amazon, ebay, imdb), this site delivers on the webs early promise of transporting you around the world in a day - although that world is mostly America. Its kind of a celebration of the little people, the individual shit that goes on in someones life, rather than the popstar media common reference. The fact that you don't know much more of anything about, say, the lists, is just more satisfying to me - it feels really foreign then.
