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: 4.5 out of 5 stars
