The Google Dashboard
Posted By Dashboard Spy ~ 19th October 2011
Google uses a text-based layout for “The Google Dashboard”, a product that informs Google account holders of all the various data that Google knows about them. Take a look at this video and you’ll see that the simple design works very well.
Here’s how Google explains it:
Transparency, choice and control have become a key part of Google’s philosophy, and today, we’re happy to announce that we’re doing even more.
In an effort to provide you with greater transparency and control over your own data, we’ve built the Google Dashboard. Designed to be simple and useful, the Dashboard summarizes data for each product that you use (when signed in to your account) and provides you direct links to control your personal settings. Today, the Dashboard covers more than 20 products and services, including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Web History, Orkut, YouTube, Picasa, Talk, Reader, Alerts, Latitude and many more. The scale and level of detail of the Dashboard is unprecedented, and we’re delighted to be the first Internet company to offer this — and we hope it will become the standard.
