I feel like writing a quick post - a nice change for anyone who reads this - about a new site I've been using a lot. It's called NetVibes. Basically it's an awesome homepage filled to the brim with AJAX goodness that lets you place RSS feeds, widgets, and a lot of other things onto one page for your convenient viewing. The page can even have multiple tabs so you can set up a different tab for anything you want to keep track of.

Netvibes logoFor instance, I have 3 main tabs. My first tab is called Home (brilliant, I know) and it contains a few widgets like a Gmail notifier, Twitter notifier, Remember the Milk and a few RSS feeds from some gaming sites. My second tab is devoted completely to Digg and has about 10 feeds from all of the various sections of Digg. Finally, my third tab is called Media and it has a couple of feeds for podcasts like TWiT as well as a YouTube widget that can be used to quickly search the 'Tube for whatever I feel I need to watch. The nice thing about the podcast feeds is that NetVibes has a built-in media player so you can listen to the audio right from the NetVibes page without having to open up a separate application and without navigating away to a different site.

Another cool thing about NetVibes is that you can customize the way the pages look, not just by moving and placing your different page components, but also by creating your own custom color theme. You can even change the title of your NetVibes page to anything your heart desires. It's a pretty handy site and I'm using it regularly just out of convenience. I know there are some other home page sites out there like PageFlakes, Favoor and Google IG but I stumbled upon NetVibes first so it's the one I've chosen to use. If you have a personal favorite start page leave a comment and let me know what it is so I can give it a shot!
