So, the election is upon us. Hustings, hustings everywhere. The boy
stood on the burning deck when all about was hustings. Etc. Because I'm dashboard-kerrayzee, I thought it might be a nice idea to
put together a few dashboards to cover all this. It's also a good
exercise in developing new methods that don't depend on Yahoo Pipes
any more, because nowadays Yahoo Pipes is, not to put too fine a point
on it, shit. Let us not fool ourselves. Politics is about personalities. So if you
want to see what people are saying about the key figures, take a look
at http://www.netvibes.com/brendancooper#UK_Election%3A_Key_figures. And if you want to read the 'official' news, go to
http://www.netvibes.com/brendancooper#UK_Election%3A_News_coverage Everything should stand up although we're depending on a lot of things
working here, such as: Google Blog Search, Flickr, YouTube, Twitter
and, of course, Netvibes itself. But aggregated together they could
not be less reliable than Yahoo Pipes which is, not to put too fine a
point on it, shit. Didn't I just say that? If you're in any way interested, and are actually reading this blog
(you mean to say, you still read blogs? You weirdo) then look out for
more coming down the pipe (not the Yahoo variety because - I'll leave
it at that). In a whimsical folly, harking back to the days when politics was about
policies, I thought it might be interesting to get an idea of message
penetration (ooer missus) so I'll be looking at ways to show that in
another tab. I've also noticed that there are some good, solid political bloggers
out there who occupy an interesting space between the dross of YouTube
and quality of the dailies. And I just might aggregate the combined output of the parties
themselves, so you can see the difference between what they're saying,
and what other people are saying they're saying. So that'll be three lovely new tabs coming up. Five in total. Count the tabs.
