五十八”民意测验分析网站，到《纽约时报》可视化向导提供的精美的选举之夜地图 ，无不满足于我们对数据消费的需求。 出现的最有用的新站点之一是元音新闻仪表板Perspctv的缩写 。
Launched in June by developer Vineet Choudhary, the mashup drew in news from multiple sources about presidential candidate Senators Barack Obama and John McCain and packaged it all into an attractive and easy to read dashboard. The site created real-time graphs of news mentions, blog mentions, tweets, web site traffic, and Google search volume for the candidates. It also drew on election specific information, such as electoral maps, polling data, and futures market predictions, and created timelines of much of the data. In addition, Perspctv scrolled news, blog posts, and tweets as they rolled in and packaged up the main graphs in a embeddable widget.
该混搭由开发商Vineet Choudhary于6月启动，它从多个来源收集了有关总统候选人参议员巴拉克·奥巴马(Barack Obama)和约翰·麦凯恩(John McCain)的消息，并将其打包到一个有吸引力且易于阅读的仪表板中。 该网站创建了新闻提及，博客提及，推文，网站访问量以及候选人的Google搜索量的实时图表。 它还借鉴了选举的特定信息，例如选举地图，民意测验数据和期货市场预测，并为许多数据创建了时间表。 此外，Perspctv在滚动新闻，博客文章和推文时会滚动它们，并将主要图表打包到一个可嵌入的小部件中。
In all, Perpsctv provided a very useful way to easily digest a massive amount of election data. But now that the election is over, the site’s election page is obsolete. Choudhary, though, has smartly relaunched the site as a comparison dashboard for anything.
总之，Perpsctv提供了一种非常有用的方法来轻松消化大量的选举数据。 但是，既然选举结束了，该站点的选举页面已经过时了。 但Choudhary巧妙地重新启动了该网站，将其作为任何内容的比较仪表板。
Because the dashboards are made on the fly about any topic, the amount of information isn’t nearly as impressive as the original election dashboard. They are nonetheless useful, however. The new Perspctv displays data on blog mentions, news mentions, Twitter tweets, and Google search volume. For example, this page comparing Yahoo! to Microsoft to Google lets users see how often those terms are talked about in the blogosphere and the mainstream press over the past day, week, and month.
由于仪表板是针对任何主题的即时生成的，因此信息量几乎没有原始选举仪表板那么令人印象深刻。 但是，它们仍然有用。 新的Perspctv在博客提及，新闻提及，Twitter推文和Google搜索量上显示数据。 例如，此页面比较Yahoo! 从Microsoft到Google，使用户可以查看过去一天，一周和一个月在博客圈和主流媒体中谈论这些术语的频率。
Even though the current dashboard is a little less impressive than the election dashboard, there is nothing stopping Choudhary from adding more data points in the coming months — and we hope he does. We also hope that the site expands to allow different views of the data — i.e., the ability to generate different types of charts to compare data over time would be extremely useful.
尽管当前的仪表板不如选举仪表板令人印象深刻，但没有什么能阻止Choudhary在未来几个月内添加更多数据点-我们希望他这样做。 我们还希望站点可以扩展以允许使用不同的数据视图，即生成不同类型的图表以比较数据的能力将非常有用。
Techcrunch reports that the business model for Perspctv is to create custom dashboards for corporate users, which means that the possibility for impressive dashboards like the one that Choudhary created for the election that bring together many sources of data for a specific topic are not only possible, but they are likely to appear on the site.
Techcrunch报告说，Perspctv的业务模型是为企业用户创建自定义仪表板，这意味着像Choudhary为选举创建的仪表板那样，它汇集了特定主题的许多数据源的可能性令人印象深刻，但它们很可能会出现在网站上。
