Netvibes


Today i decided to write something about Netvibes. Many of you probably heared about Netvibes many of you did not. I think it is a very useful thing and can save you so much time...

So, Netvibes.com is a home web page that you can personalize. Just log on to http://www.netvibes.com and i will explain it to you. First you have to make an account, you do that by clicking a button in the upper right corner which says sign in. Now that you registered you can start shaping you page.

Best thing to start with is by adding gadgets. You do that by clicking add on the upper left corner. There are many gadgets to choose from. I think most useful are:

Email wizards: you can set it up so you can read you email, without leaving the netvibes site.

Weather: it shows your weather in a nice graphic way

Webnote: you can write something down and it immediately saves, so when ever you open Netvibes it's there

Facebook: to keep up to date with you frieds

Google search, Youtube search, Picture search: so you have all search engines in one place

Rss reader: this is my fauvorite, you can read as many rss feeds as you want (more explained in my previous post)

These are only few i like, but there are many more on Netvibes.

After you finish with adding them to you page, you can easily move gadges with a mouse. You just click & hold it and move it where ever you like. It's that simple.

In Netvibes you can also make tabs, so you can have Rss feeds in one tab, search engines in one tab, possibilities are limitless. One more step in personalization is changing the graphics of your page. You to that by clicking the settings button in the upper right corner. Then just click wallpapers and choose. You can also name you site, just double click on the previous name and change it.

I hope this post shead some light on Netvibes
which are pretty cool and easy to use. I highly recommend it.

I supplied this video, which shows mr. Tariq Krim of Netvibes.

Best, M
