Martinez has been collecting information for the site since 2009 but finally got around to building it over this holiday season. My favorite part is the sites that include visuals, like what went popular on the design community Dribbble and Flickr. It seems to be harder to aggregate the video content and the Hulu option seems to be particularly iffy.
Martinez plans on adding a calendar option (right now you can use the archives link) and more music services like iTunes and Last.fm as well as Google and Twitter search trends.
As one Hacker News commenter pointed out, the theme of “This day in history” has appeared in print, then radio, then on birthday cards, then television, and now on the Internet, “If you look, you’ll find what you seek pretty much everywhere.”
