Probably acting as the Ueber online widget collection of all widgets (or a ironic view of the iGoogle portal concept), Sprint introduces a huge widget mosaic dashboard [sprint.com] that attempts to document the "now". The statistical data shown through slick designed bar charts, counters and various iconography ranges from the "World Energy Used Now" over a "Live White House Cam" to amount of "People Stuck in Elevators".

I normally do show people some screenshots of a Apple Dashboard or a Yahoo widgets collection to illustrate the tendency towards data addiction in today's society, but one clearly can exaggerate this point even more. A randomized mini-version is also embedded as an independent widget below.

I forgot to mention in the post that people interested in this, should also have a look at the Indianopolis Museum of Art dashboard.
