Sometimes, it's just really hard hiding my inner-geek. If you follow me on twitter, you'll notice that I've been celebrating my 25th birthday the last two weeks. What started with a surprise weekend getaway organised by the boyfriend turned into a sequence of dinner parties with various friends and family.
So instead of blogging my way through the huge backlog I have just formed (La Cucina Cortesi, Olive On Ocean View, Velero, Galileo and more), I fiddled around with some numbers and voila -here's my data visualisation of how a Gen Y receives birthday wishes.
It shows the different channels used and the time of day the message was communicated.
Just a few things to note:
1. My sit-down dinner party of 20+ people was on the day after my birthday, which is why the in-person channel is so high on the next day.
2. I work in the digital media industry so the statistics for the social media networks may skew slightly higher
this is the most awesomest post ever.
How do you keep track of when you received 'in-person' wishes? or do you have like a freakish memory and awareness of time?
It's funny how instant messenger has kinda tailed off in recent years, I find myself using it less and less! Your stats show it too.
Hi Jenius,
Love your blog - it's so vibrant and clearly, you're passionate about food.
