Kudos to CPAC

In addition to reliable, and freely available, streaming video of election coverage, CPAC has a fantasic Flash-application to display results of ridings across the country. It’s supposed to represent live results and be tied to data as it comes in, but for a moment something just didn’t seem right.

Ooops! Ten seconds later the little “leading party” flag slid back to the clear winner.

Well, whoever designed that Flash-application deserves a lot of kudos. It’s not just slick, it’s clear and usable and provides information in a very useful way; that is to say, it’s well done in all the ways that actually matter.

Happy E-day!

    Hey justin,

    didn’t watch cpac, but the CBC did the best job on tv. Their on screen displays, commentary, focuses, graphics, were all the best. global did ok, i found the screen to be too busy, and ctv was too focused on Toronto. just a fyi.
