I'm excited to find this collection of business intelligence dashboards and to pass it on to you. We have talked about community indicators and dashboards before, and I had provided a couple of examples, but at Dashboards By Example you can find hundreds more.

Also linked to on the site is Meryl's Notes Blog's Top 175 Data Visualization Resources compiled after the author took a class that discussed Edward Tufte.

There's an enormous amount of information here -- one that will require review and sifting to find the best examples for community indicators work. Before I tackle that, however, I thought I'd pass on the full lists so you could find your own favorites. (Feel free to let me know which ones you like best!)

And here are a few dashboards that use data visualization tools in interesting ways. Lots of information in very little space conveyed in a visually pleasing manner ... that's what we're looking for.
