It does sound sort of interesting, but I don’t think I have a clear picture of the theory of change. How does the dashboard lead to better outcomes? If the theory of change depends on certain key people (media? Civil servants? Someone else?) making use of the dashboard, would it make sense to check with those people and see if they would find it useful? Should we check if they’re willing to be involved in the creation process to provide the feedback which helps ensure it’s worth their while to use it?
I think it would allow many very online slightly anxious people to note how the situation is changing, rather than plug their minds into twitter each day.
I think the bird flu site helped a little in my part of twitter to tell people to chill out a bit and not work themselves into a frenzy earlier than was necessary. At least one powerful person said it was cool.
I think that civil servants might use it but I’m not sure they know what they want here and it’s good to have something concrete to show.
