I use NetVibes. iGoogle had a temporary glitch (for 2 days) where I couldn’t access it, so I was forced to port over to NetVibes, but having spent a few days on NetVibes I’ve realised that it is more powerful than iGoogle. I keep giving NetVibes feedback in the hope that they keep polishing their product.

I hope more people start using NetVibes. Does anyone know if Google Chrome is just an OS version of iGoogle?

There is a widget on NetVibes for gmail, so no need to stick with iGoogle.

I’d still prefer GReader over any of the tools – they are more of ‘latest pages’ but not really readers per se (for bookmarking/sharing etc)

I am BIG fan of Netvibes, but as i go on adding feeds, its became bulky and search is tooo slow. Later it becomes so Swanky that it lost the simplicity eye catching. So i ended up Famous DeskTop RSS Reader the OMEA RSS Reader. You can read off line too. Test it and provide ur Feed back.

Bloglines. The non-beta version has a great cache and is fast as lightning in India.

GMail on Firefox, “About:Blank” on IE. I’d hate anything that comes between me and my e-mail.

You hit the nail right there – I am a big fan of netvibes and really liked the overall interface/usability, but what’s really bad is that one can’t surf beyond the 15 items in a feed..so essentially I use it as a quick way to find out what’s happening, but end up hopping to Google reader

Am a complete netvibes fanboy. Wish they would improve the ability to share stuff easily though
