Earlier this month, we were very pleased to see that the Dutch broadcaster NOS built a very nice and extensive timeline about the U.S. election and featured it on their site. NOS is sort of the Dutch equivalent to the U.K.’s BBC, specializing in news and sports.
Here’s the page on the NOS site, and here’s the timeline that they link to.
This is a fantastic way to use Mnemograph — as an accompaniment to a larger, ongoing media story. NOS was able to update this timeline in real time, during Barack Obama’s acceptance speech, even while as traffic to the timeline was popping like popcorn.
Notice, also, how they cleverly used short but wide images to save vertical space.
Thanks NOS, and congratulations Senator/Pres. Elect Obama.
