Panic Are Watching You Watching Them

This, ladies and gentlemen, is today’s Best Thing Ever.

Panic are the people who make fabulous Mac software like FTP client Transmit and web dev box-of-tricks Coda.

Now they’ve made their own status board – it’s a monitor hung on the wall, displaying an internal web page that aggregates stuff from different sources and displays it beautifully.

One of the things on there is tweets sent @panic – so while you’re watching them and saying how amazing their status board is, they’re watching you right back.

Thank you, Panic, for brightening up the internet this morning.

Wow – that looks absolutely gorgeous!
we have been discussing putting something like this up at one of our office (currently there is a pinup board with daily printouts of analytics) – but as usual – production work takes preference over side projects like this and its been pushed onto the backburner.
Knowing Panic and their abilities (and being a personal fan of their work) I totally see them pushing this out as a product! If not – they should be thinking about it!
Question – do they have a separate machine powering this screen just to display this? I know it would be a trivially not powerful at all (maybe just an old desktop lying around) but it seems like it could become a stand alone system for web publishers / people in the web space…
looking forward to see what (if anything) comes of this!

Very cool device. Id also consider buying one for my office, keeping my staff updated at a glance.

I saw this on Panic’s blog and was amused to see my tweet at the bottom of their screen. http://twitter.com/FlingoDesign/status/10130901059 Good to know someone saw it!
