We spend on average over 70% of our daily life in front of a computer screen and the “infoweb” has become a great encyclopaedia and portal for dating, researching, shopping, reading the news, booking holidays, checking train times etc etc. The one downside of this is the time it takes to sift through the different sites and browse bookmarks to locate the correct information…
…What if you could access all your favourite sites on one web page, personalised to you?
Netvibes is a next generation portal designed to bring you all your sites under one roof (or should we say window?). Once you have created your free account and logged in, you can start to pull in information from various news sites based on a commonly used technology called an RSS feed (Look at any major media site and there will be the letters RSS). On top of this you can also bring in your Google mail, view whats happening in Facebook and follow people on Twitter
So if you can bring all of this information into one webpage, will you actually get time to make that cup of tea or arrive on time for your dinner date?
