Netvibes is new to me today. I got intrigued when we watched the Michael Wesch video and I saw something that looked like Netvibes (maybe it was) but I had no idea how to find it or how it worked. It was super easy to set up. It's great because you can set it as your homepage and instead of checking multiple sites, you can get an overview of everything you like in one place. I have multiple email accounts using different services, and you can include them all allowing you to check your email in one place. I also like having the weather, news headlines, and Google search bars in one convenient location. I've also included Twitter and Facebook and downloaded a Google Reader widget. This is a great time-saver and I definitely think I'll stick with it.

NetVibes is kind of like igoogle in that you can personalize your content. Through igoogle I get feeds from my "main" blogs, which I guess you can do by adding the Google reader widget to the NetVibes page. It seems like for every application there is another one sort of like it, one that adds another interesting feature. Personal preference rules the Web 2.0 world, I guess.
