Hi team !
Please. As usual, this is the best place for such a question.
Sorry for the 'admirable and receptive' title! : )
That said! A suductive topic for those working with them... (dashboards).
Please forgive me.
I'm looking for the *best of best* and/or the most compeling / complexed / innovative /inspirational / creative demonstration in modern dashboards.
How do you handle "mass information" in a dashboard interface?
Thanks in advanced for your comments/feeback.

Thanks. Got it - (Information Dashboard Design) - . Plus sourcing others from "Edward Tufte" as well. Unfortunately it seems "Few's" and other such books have been out of print (at least in Canada). Which I tend to put on "lack of financial desire for the big box stores"... what sells. Ironic, because here in Toronto, Canada have a big design / usability / engineering community. I guess Harry Potter sells more titles, However, I plan to get what I can get from "Amazon used"...I plan to get the whole lot from both authurs....
The key to handling massive amounts of information is to pritoritize how each pixel is being used: for data as much as possible, for grids as little and subtly as possible, and never for decoration.

Pick up Stephen Few's 'Information Dashboard Design'. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Good luck!
Excellent dashboards following Edward Tufte's principles:
