Netvibes!!! get on the Vibe

Posted in Web and technology by Khaled on December 1st, 2006

I was first introduced to this Web 2.0 Homepage solution thanks to Mr. Khaled Koubâa ( president of the Intetnet Society OC tunisian chapter) and Mr. Mondher Laâbidi. Netvibes.com was created as a start-up company in Paris during the year 2005 by Tariq Krim et Florent Frémont. It was meant to be an Ajax-based custom made start page that is quite similiar to google’s personalised Homepage.

At first I created an account, tried it then left on the shelf. I am a user of Fizzle which is a Firefox extension that enables me to read the feeds I’ve ever needed, and I was thinking it was probably the best RSS/Atom Feed Reader around. Then I took a step back to take a deeper look on Netvibes.com, it was a free to use service, it doesn’t only read the feeds you want (like Fizzle does) but it helps you create a page that almost covers all your needs and that gathers a lot of the info you require on the same page, you can check your Gmail, yahoo, hotmail e-mail accounts, you can create web notes, to-do lists, you can use flickr, meebo or MySpace modules…all this with a very simple interface that is yet very easy to customize thanks to Ajax…You can choice your main language, create tabs with different contents, customize the look (I loved the Halloween Theme)…Of course you can access your page from any place around the world, just log in …

Now I am a faithful user of Netvibes, I just love it, I am reading like 30-50 blogs and portals posts daily and Netvibes was of a great help…. So Just try it and you will see by yourself guys …Mr. Khaled Koubâa, Mr. Mondher laâbidi… Thanks again.

      It is getting better for me with the memory usage and so on, I am really leaning towards using it more and more
