Netvibes - (re)mix the Web

I've been a My Yahoo user for many years, mostly because it allows me to see a lot of information at a glance, and it's mainly plain text so it loads fast. I also use Apple's Widgets on my Macintosh machines. But I find myself using Netvibes more and more lately… But Netvibes… will give My Yahoo a run for its money. They provide an easy way to cut through the clutter of information that confronts us all.

The real threat to established portals, however, comes from the impressive speed and unprecedented drag-and-drop simplicity of the site's customization tools."Netvibes makes it brain-dead easy," says Charlene Li, a principal analyst at Forrester Research who has been using Netvibes.com as her start page for months.

Netvibes is one of a handful of websites offering a new kind of personalized homepage. A far cry from the portal-driven offerings of yesteryear from Excite and AltaVista.

Netvibes has a lot going for it: the absence of advertisements, intriguing new social-networking capabilities; integration with Web 2.0 services; storage; and the ability to build a public page. I also applaud the company's universal widget initiative, which will let programmers write code once and run it on many platforms.
