Netvibes? Really?
Wow, a lot of you come here through Netvibes. I had no idea it was so popular! I’m getting burnt out on trying new things lately, but is it worth a look? Seems a little busy for my tastes.
UPDATE: You guys seem to want to duke it out, so here’s a poll!

I have used Netvibes for while. It is the best way to categorize and quickly view all the rss feeds I have. I wonder how your system counts the pings from Netvibes when it is just checking if there is a new post? Or does it only count if someone actually clicks through to the site? You can view most of the post in Netvibes without coming.

People still use home pages? I make Firefox to restore my last browsing session. This way every time I open my browser I’m right back where I left of last time when I closed it.
This means that I will usually be greeted by Bloglines, Twitter my blogs dashboard and whatever else I was using at the time.
Home pages… Pshh… Who needs them.

I still use http://www.apple.com/startpage/ .
I would like to explore other options, but I need something that loads fast. for a while I used http://live.xbox.com/en-US/default.aspx but it loads slow.
I would like something customized. maybe tom should make a real deal on it?

Netvibes is great. I’ve been using it for over a year now. Google’s place was nice, but the podcast features already mentioned seal the deal for me (and I didn’t even know about them for a while!), and the Netvibes Customize module gives you cool tweaking options like using your own backgrounds, etc.
With all the modules available, it makes a for a great jump-off point whenever I start my interneting, although I think my screenshot will further the “too busy” comment. I like being busy, though…

V- I love Netvibes, but check out this nifty article that appeared on Digg this morning:

I also thought it was too buisy, but I found an interesting solution. Fin out what your ‘minimum’ is, and then take the number of stuff you have and divide it by that number. The result you have, is the number of tabs you have to put, with the most important on the first tab, and the least important on the last tab.

I love Netvibes! Way better than the Google personalized homepage IMO. I like the clean look, and the mouse-over pop-ups you get on the rss feed headlines.
