In my continuing quest to ditch Yahoo!’s portal page, I also found Netvibes. Its very similar to Pageflakes, but it runs faster on Flock/Firefox, so that’s something.
It seems to offer many of the same features as Pageflakes that I mentioned previously.
Other first impressions: I like the tabbed Search widget on Netvibes. The email widget is nice. Pages within the widgets for feeds is a nice touch. The RSS reader is pleasant.
I can’t seem to share my portal (aka Pageflakes’ Pagecast), but I’m not sure I will be using that feature anyways.
Initial Netvibes Rating:
