The Demise of the Personal Dashboard

Read Original

The article critiques the concept of personalized dashboards (like the now-retired iGoogle) in user interface design. It argues that in an era of information overload, users prefer interfaces that solve one specific problem at a time, rather than dashboards that present multiple data streams simultaneously. It suggests the future lies in activity-focused feeds and intelligent, context-aware systems.
