netvibes comments

Monday, October 30th, 2006

Netvibes seems to be down right now. Which prompted me to write this. For those of you who don’t know Netvibes is a cool web 2.0 personal portal type deal that I favor over the other options out there. It looks nice, has tons of useful modules and seems to be constantly improving, and their [...]
