Birthday App Idea

One idea I don't think anyone has created is a simple FamilySearch API App that would push names, dates, ages if they were still alive and a picture of ancestors on their birthdays. Users could choose to push this feed to Facebook, etc. or receive an email. It could include a link to their Person Page in FamilySearch. It could also be set up as a game: give death date or picture only: guess their age today. Give only the "great-great-n grandfather of [User]" guess their age today. Similar to this you could serve up a simple date-less pedigree and guess their age today.

Because Facebook friends typically include a lot of family there is a high likelihood this could grow virally and be ad funded.

One of mine would be hard to guess. I have great grandfather born in 1839 (175 today!).
