I was browsing the other day through the Ovi Store and found an unusual app called Carpe Diem Daily, so I downloaded and tried it. The basic idea is having an app that can make your daily day a more interesting experience. Every day there is a new task such as “take a picture of yourself with your pet”, then after you have completed the task you can show other users your results, share via twitter and then you can also see what other usershave done. Just access their website www.carpediemdaily.com to see other users tasks. Simple, yet interesting.

So today May 8th 2010, I started my Carpe Diem Daily and found today’s task which is “Record a small status video” and a small button saying ‘record’. I found nice to have camera integration, so I could record simple and easy. After recording a small 15 secs video, you are prompted to add a small note and then publish. Then you can share it via twitter.

You can watch my task here http://www.carpediemdaily.com/Tasks/08-May-2010/dcastrog

basically I was checking my facebook and took a small video of me with my booklet.

Suggestions for the developers? Well they could add a small homescreen widget to see the new tasks every day. That could make it better.If you want to make every day a bit more interesting you can find this app on the Ovi Store, and you can visit the Carpe Diem site to see new tasks and other user submissions.

So seize the day, it’s all yours!
