Netvibes: virtual desktop
Netvibes is a handy idea, it seems that it’s meant to be a web desktop for all your web 2.0 stuff.
Great idea as I was thinking I need some sort of dashboard where I can access all my web 2.0 applications…I have so many RSS readers, social bookmarks, etc…much easier to see them in one place…and not to mix them up with my actual desktop.
These personal homepages seem to be the new thing, now that read/write web allows us to truly interact and publish, we need a place to access all our accounts (even preview some content), plus our favourite links.
Other web desktops include Google Personalised, and Prototype.
…these virtual desktops seem to be a spin off from sidebar utilities.
