Life & Research Notes

I love this admin interface for the 37signals unified billing and monitoring system, Queen Bee.

When Huned saw it his reaction was, “oh, it’s like top for your business,” which is a great description. This concept of live business data streams is a big part of the new Swivel business product we’re taking into beta shortly. We’re excited to bring these paradigms to a wider audience of people and teams who don’t have the resources to roll their own solutions.
