could you possibly squeeze in any more stupid words into the title? - livejamie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10netvibes.com, anyone?
- livejamie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8the techcrunch article is more in depth and the comments are good
- Modulo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8good job on noticing all those stupid sounding names Switchnig.
- lazyrussian, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I'm a big google/ig user but netvibes looks pretty freaking sweet
- bunni, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Sounds like some made for AdSense bot is creating a ton of splogs.
- floodyberry, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5If BoingBoing was the site that reported this, why are you linking to TechCrunch's blog spam?

I really like how everything loads in netvibes. ex. Instead of a link to youtube, the video plays in netvibes. Very nice. - Rhelim, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1no booty in the wang-wang.
- Strokemouth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I like these different homepage deals. I used to make my own homepage "portal" by just writing up my own html file linking to favorite sites, etc. and then setting the homepage to that local file. These pages make that way easier and produce much nicer results at the cost of a few seconds of load time. Netvibes is my current favorite flavor of the week, though. I've got all my favorite modules and with the the "Netvibes Customize" module, it's great looking to boot.
My biggest gripe with Pageflakes was that the Gmail flake used the POP feature and downloaded your whole inbox. With Netvibes, it just shows me my unread messages. I like that much better. But hopefully this whole RSS issue gets resolved...Pageflakes is a great site too and I'd hate to see it go under because of this. - menachem, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2After trying out all the startpages for a while, used both google's personalized page and netvibes startpage for a couple a months and even protopage, I stuck with pageflakes. Even though netvibes is great, I find pageflakes has a better rss reader (you can even save articles) and better interface, even though netvibes has more modules. I know i'm probably going to be dugged down since there are a lot of loyal netvibes users out there, but find netvibes interface to crazy and all over the place, even though you can customize it to your desire, with the large amount of rss feeds I had it look crazy on one page. While pageflakes retained its nice look with all my feeds on a page. And pageflakes has enough of the main essential modules/flakes that I used for netvibes. Anyways I hope better luck for this young company and that it gets the respect it deserves.
- merreborn, on 10/12/2007, -13/+6How else would you recommend someone summarize a story involving pageflakes, feedburner, and boingboing? They may have stupid names, but they're the only names we have to refer to those services by.
- sicc, on 10/12/2007, -17/+3Pageflakes is cool, and the owner of it's a real nice guy.
- evilpig, on 10/12/2007, -23/+8With pleasure.
