Flash vs. AJAX Dashboards - Goowy, a Flash-based Web OS Dashboard

Interesting post at http://harshdeep.wordpress.com/2006/03/09/goowy-the-web-os-showing-off-the-power-of-flash/ where there is a discussion of Flash versus AJAX for powering rich client interactivity. Now I know that the screenshot below is not an executive dashboard, but rather an OS widget thingy dashboard, but i’m going to post it on this blog anyway.

In fact, I’ve been under pressure as to why I’m not including those kinds of dashboards since from a User Interface design perspective, there is much value in studing dashboards of any nature. I’ve been trying to focus on business dashboards, but since the mac os dashboard appeared, there’s been floods of those kinds of dashboards images. I’ll probably create a new category on this blog called OS Dashboards.

Anyway back to Flash vs. AJAX. See my previous posts on the power of flash-based dashboards at

Flash OS Dashboard 

Ajax offers great interactivity to the dashboard user. Plus, it has the benefit of being favored by the programmers because of the web standard technologies that it leverages. Many executive dashboards use ajax technology.
