At less than a month, both babies look very much similar. Can you identify who's who?

Web Mashup - Netvibes

To quote from wikipedia, "A mashup is a website or web application that uses content from more than one source to create a completely new service. Content used in mashups is typically sourced from a third party via a public interface or API. Other methods of sourcing content for mashups include Web feeds (e.g. RSS or Atom) and JavaScript."

My favorite start page, Netvibes, has added a couple of features that enables useful information from different sites to be displayed in a single page. In this case, I created a tab named "PIM", showing 4 things: a To Do List, a Notepad, my schedule from Google Calendar and my online file storage at box.net. I can actually upload a file to my box.net online storage from the netvibes page. Personalization has really gone a long way thanks to web standards.

My primary use for Netvibes is still to collect news feeds from selected sites. This works very well for my daily skimming.

If you still haven't tried Netvibes (www.netvibes.com), I suggest you go out and try it. I can share my news feeds and panes if you're interested. Don't forget to check out the free 1G online storage box.net.
