Netvibes – my new start page
July 9th, 2007
I’ve known about Netvibes for some time now and had toyed around w/it. Over the Fourth of July holiday, however, I suddenly realized how you can keep track, at a glance, of whether you’ve read the items in a particular feed.
That’s all it took.
I spent part of the day yesterday bringing in all my feeds and content, which I had set up in my old feed reader, Newsgator. This type of site, w/its high level of Ajax functionality, no doubt would be difficult for people who require a high degree of accessibility to use, but for an average joe like me, the usability is A+. You can see a tremendous amount of information in one screenful and very quickly and easily add stuff or move it around.
