NetVibes is an example of what a web 2.0 desktop might look like

Creating a personal web page has never been so easy. It is even fun.

Get all the RSS/Atom feeds you want plus podcast, or use it to jolt down short "web-notes'. This is a preliminary version of a collaborative web 2.0 desktop, just add content.

NetVibes is produced by a French start-up company and it shows how useful AJAX can be. See their founder's CV with expanding/collapsing sections to see how your CV will look in the future.

Check out the screenshots below:


NetVibes offers a simple looking page


The page is fully customizable with Google-like ease


Reading your favorite blogs via RSS is fast and fun


You can subscribe to podcasts AND listen to them directly from your page

  1. I have made some Netvibes search modules for our patrons and for others! It really is cool stuff.
    What if your Library would offer them to you? Would you use them?
