This is not a guide for creating a personal website but on how to have a single web page that collects all your online activities, with the basic tools, with the collection of news from newspapers and blogs, with your email and integration of the preferred social network, be it Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, MySpace or others. It is the best of the "homepage" services that proposes itself as being the initial page with which to open internet browsing .
It is certainly not the only site of this kind and the inevitable Google provides a similar web application called iGoogle but, this time, Netvibes is certainly superior, if for no other reason than graphic quality, clarity, order of contents and personalization.
Like iGoogle and MyYahoo, Netvibes provides all the tools to aggregate personal content on the internet into a single page divided into widgets and each of these pieces can be arranged as you wish.
With Netvibes, therefore, it is possible to insert, on the same page, different boxes each containing the desired information to have an immediate glance of everything that happens online .
The personal page has a unique address that can be reached from all over the world, such as //www.netvibes.com/pomhey and can be designed with a customized layout made up of columns, rows and columns or with a single large box, all without any advertising or banner!
For example, you can work alongside Facebook, Twitter, your email inbox (GMail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail or others), Google News, web search (with simultaneous use of Google, Yahoo and Bing), the search for photos and images from Flickr or other services, YouTube videos, the MySpace page, the Google Maps map, the calculator, the notebook and many other applications. Personalization reaches its maximum level when you want to add newspaper and blog content, of which you can capture the feed and receive the latest news in real time.
To add Navigaweb.net to Netvibes just press the button on the right and you will see the latest updated articles on your page.
To make order it is also possible to arrange the various panes or widgets on multiple tabs, transforming NetVibes as if it were a browser.
In addition, your personal Netvibes page can also be made public in this way, all the contents that are there can be easily shared with friends or work colleagues.
In your account you can choose whether your web page should be personal or linked to the activity of a company.
In this case there is a Netvibes for companies that allows you to create an "intranet" page available to all employees in order to organize work and provide advice on corporate and corporate life.
Basically with Netvibes you can read many sites together and stay connected to your email and social networks without ever having to change the page.
Your personal web page can be colored as you wish and graphically modified with the addition of logos and images.
NetVibes has existed for years now and surely it is not a novelty as a service, however, in my view, it is one of the most useful and functional web applications of the entire web landscape, celebrated in the world, developed in France, which deserves more than one 'look, whether you do not know it, or if you had already tried it some time ago.
The best feed readers have already been discussed in another article and, even if in Italy the feeds have never taken off and are now supplanted by social networks, they are still the best way if you want to follow the news from multiple sources at the same time.
