netvibes.com
Just started using netvibes.com homepage service and I’m lovin’ it. It’s great because you can store feeds from your favorite blogs all on one page. And if your bookmark list keeps on getting mysteriously deleted from your firefox browser like mine does every few weeks, then you’re in luck because now you can host all of your sites on netvibes’ own bookmark section. Heck, you can even check your gmail and yahoo accounts also. It’s really the ultimate homepage and it saves you a ton of time.
Netvibes.com is a custom made web 2.0 home page solution
This service is free and gives the user the ability :
to create a personalized page with the content they like.
to put together data feeds and services from web 2.0 with a very simple interface
to access your page anytime and from any computer .It is also possible to :
browse, modify, and import your RSS feeds with our integrated RSS/ATOM feedreader. You can easily import an OPML file as well.
to import, download and listen podcasts without any additional software
to check your mail on one or many gmail account, to stick webnotes, weather and many more to come !
I see that you are interested in personalized start pages. Have you tried http://www.pageflakes.com already? It’s a similar service but offers additional features such as multiple pages and a larger number of modules and feeds. I would like to hear your feedback and ideas.
Cheers
