Wow. I've seen
www.live.com, I've seen
www.start.com, I've seen the
Google Personalized Home. None of these big boys have anything to do with what
Netvibes delivers. From their About page:
Netvibes.com is a customizable web 2.0 homepage solution
This service is free and gives you the user the ability:
- to create a personalized page with the content you like.
- to put together data feeds and services from web 2.0 applications with a very simple interface
- to access your page anytime and from any computer .
Key features of Netvibes:
- Browse, modify, and import your RSS feeds with our integrated RSS/ATOM feedreader. You can easily import an OPML file as well.
- Import, download and listen to podcasts without any additional software
- Check your e-mail on one or many Gmail accounts; stick web notes and weather updates; and many more features to come!
Netvibes is already available in French, English,
Spanish, Russian and Portuguese - German, Korean and Chinese versions
are on their way.
As all web applications named after the buzzword of Web 2.0, it's
still in beta. But it has the most slick and polished user interface
I've seen so far. You don't need to be a big boy to be top notch. ;)
