PUBLIC MARKS from Spone with tag statut

Few people know this, but I absolutely love seeing the dashboard or backend systems of various businesses. Thankfully, in this age of e-businesses they’re becoming more and more prevelant and more and more sexy. I’ve been meaning to post about this in the past but had not got around to it when I spied a hacker news post about the new Panic Status Board. I really recommend reading the thread.

The idea quickly grew beyond “Project Status”, and has become a hub of all sorts of internal Panic information. What you’re actually looking at is an internal-only webpage that updates frequently using AJAX which shows: * E-Mail Queue — number of messages / number of days. * Project Status — sorry for the heavy censorship — you know how it is! * Important Countdowns * Revenue — comparing yesterday to the day before, not so insightful (yet). * Live Tri-Met Bus Arrivals — when it’s time to go home! * The Panic Calendar * Employee Twitter Messages * Any @Panic Twitter Messages — i.e., be nice! They go on our screen!
