Whadya think? Netvibes vs iGoogle?

fjpoblam · 03-27-2008, 07:34 AM

Anyone tried the "personal start page" at Netvibes? Seems a bit more flexible, in ways, than iGoogle. (I was able to copy over almost all of my iGoogle content except for "proprietary" Google stuff.) Anyone else tried it?

Trying to do that. Thanks for your tips.

It does look nicer than iGoogle's page. I'll probably create an account when I'm not too busy to customize it. Thanks for the heads up!

I've tried it. I stick with iGoogle.

A) Netvibes looks and acts just like iGoogle (or the other way around depending on who was first) but the gadgets load much more slowly.
B) I use everything Google and Netvibes is missing all of the integration with the other Google stuff that I use.

Netvibes is fine and all, but I am very reliant on Google for Mail, Calendar, Docs and Talk. I use iGoogle as a dashboard for all of those features and Netvibes can't be that for me.
