Week 4 EOC: There's an App for that

A rather simplistic App for development could be a "What Happened Today?" App. It would update daily allowing you to see what happened that day in the past including famous births, deaths, battles, songs, breakthroughs in science, breakthroughs in technology, perhaps famous shows starting or ending, movies that came out on that day, and more. It could have extensions allowing for purchasing of movies directly through the app that were famous on that day, search functions to see any other day of the year and only certain tidbits show up on the current day unless you purchase the premium version. You could preview music or have links directly to YouTube to hear music from that day or purchase it directly through the app for either iTunes or your Android device. It could have a customizable interface to show you famous births and deaths simply in America or any other perceived country in the recognized history, and you could also customize what you want to show on your daily feed be it only music and movies, a range of things, or only famous births on that day. There's a potential link to genealogy trees from other sites or apps allowing you to see who in your family was born or if you so desired, died on that day, or even more exciting if they invented or achieved anything on that day. There would obviously be Facebook, Reddit, StumbleUpon, and Digg links to any and all information snip-its shown on the App. An initial version without any customization or link-ability would be free but the paid version would be no more then 99 cents per, removes ads and allows all the benefits previously described.
