NETVIBES is the way to go for personal start pages

I know there's a lot of hype around personalized start pages, like iGoogle, PageFlakes and MyYahoo! Not only is it extremely efficient to have all the information you want right at your fingertips, but it's a more organized and tidy view of all the content you're interested in.
Well, recently I discovered the king of all personalized start pages, Netvibes. Though it has all that iGoogle has to offer, the design is more sleek, user-friendly, personalized and perhaps most importantly, social media-friendly. Here are some other cool features:
  • The interface is a very simple drag-and-drop
  • Aside from the already-created tabs by genre, you can experience simple customization by adding your very own categories and content.
  • It's free and easy to sign up.
  • You can create a public profile and have wall posts between common users
  • Add any of your email accounts to send and receive mail
  • Twitter
  • Facebook
  • Built-in audio player
  • News/Lifestyle/Restaurants/MORE - all by your location
  • Various layouts for you to choose from
  • Various "ways to see" your information
  • Include a plethora of widgets such as to-do lists, stickies, etc. with the ability to get external widgets as well
  • Customize the boxes and background by color - I mean really, no two different Netvibes user pages will look the same - there's just SO many different ways to make it your own!
  • Easy to delete things you don't want and add things you do
Me personally, I changed my homepage from iGoogle to Netvibes. I'll put it to you this way, Netvibes is the MAC and iGoogle is the PC.

Enjoy!

Note: I am STILL a die-hard Google fan. I mean, OBSESSED with Google.
