BBC News Most Popular Stories Ranked on this Dynamic Dashboard

Dashboard Spy reader submissions of dashboard examples are certainly of a wide range of topics and implementation styles. Because of the many interests of the readership, we get alerted to dashboards that appear all over the world. Thanks to Derek G., we have a most interesting dashboard from the BBC News.

We dashboard designers are always looking for compelling ways to show dynamically changing metrics and KPIs. When we can devise a way to use the changing data to create a “sticky” and interesting interface, we really can impress the users.

As our Dashboard Spy in the field said in his email:

In case you haven’t seen it yet, there is an interesting new dashboard being
used on the BBC News website to show most popular stories. You can access
it here http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/bsp/hi/live_stats/html/map.stm

I thought it might be worth covering on your site.

Well, this certainly is an interesting dashboard. Take a look at the following 2 screenshots. The first one shows the most popular stories on the BBC News Site. What you can’t tell from the first dashboard screenshot (but you can see on the second dashboard of the most emailed stories), is that the left side list dynamically re-orders itself every few seconds.

And here is the Most Emailed Stories dashboard. Note the reshuffling of the news stories list.
