Netvibes Integrates Multiple Personalised Pages

I’m a massive fan of Netvibes (and have been for what seems donkeys ages), I think they were the original platform to create a personalised landing page for users to integrate all their news, information and feeds (please correct me if I’m wrong!).

Their latest upgrade is to add Multiple Personalised Pages (MPPs).  This basically means that you can have an unlimited amount of tabs categorised into an unlimited amount of pages, ensuring that all your content can be managed and structured into any logical format that you want!

This, I believe, is a great step forward for the progression of Netvibes as the limitations in one page with many tabs has always been a frustration for me and many others.  You can set up your personal page, your “social” page, your business page – anything you want – and manage a range of content, widgets, feeds etc. in a fast and super efficient manner.

It is also a massive boost for Enterprise clients (and branded microsites such as The Daily Influence by Ogilvy) who can now structure masses of data into a page for each area of the business e.g. IT, Marketing, Digital, HR, Finance…the possibilities go on.

The only issue now is that, at this point in time – 20:56 on 27th May 09, the Netvibes server is running amazingly slow!  I guess this is down to all the Netvibes users trying out the new feature and creating millions of extra pages!

I’ll have to wait a few days to set up all my tabs into their new pages.

Thanks,
Tony

The interface has some interesting new features but it may take a while – and perhaps some tweaking – to get used to them.

Nokia N96 Review

The new Nokia N96

I currently have an N95 and use most of the applications and services available to me.  I heard a lot of hype regarding the N96 model so I jumped at the chance to have a play with one and put a personal review up online.

I’ve heard all the negative stories re: the N95 and I must admit my first N95 was poor – rubbish battery life, an eternity to load up a few applications and it wasn’t the toughest of mobiles.  The 2nd N95 (and current phone) is much better though and fixes all the issues mentioned above, so maybe some are just put together better.

As I didn’t have any other phones handy to compare with the N96, I used my N95.
