The Panic Status Board
Posted by Bobby Solomon • March 12, 2010 • Design + Technology

Having an entire board dedicated to statistics based around your business is such a rad idea, and Panic has created a beautiful monster called the Panic Status Board. What they’ve done is created a way to track all of the major things they do, like emails to return, their status on products and even a feed of their Twitter updates.

This seems like something every person could use. Imagine if you had a board like this to keep track of your life? Sure, you could say that we have things like computers and iPhones that do that kind of stuff, but I like that this board is dedicated to just certain statistics. Imagine if it kept track of the contents of your fridge, or when your bills are due, or when to pick up your kids from their playdate, so on and so forth. An entire board dedicated to keeping track of your life.

1. Nicholas Felton has put together a similar idea that you are talking about with Daytum. Seems a bit laborious to input all your data but I suppose one day (some time soon with the looks of what facebook is doing) we will have something that will be able to track our lives. It’s kind of neat to visualize your life as an information graphic.
