Thing #20 - Web 2.0 Awards

Whew! There are so many to choose from and many very interesting sites.

I finally choose Netvibes. According to their About page:
Netvibes pioneered the personalized startpage, an alternative to traditional Web portals. Netvibes is about having web the way you want it. Exactly the way you want it.

Netvibes:
Helps you manage your digital life and share it with your friends
Brings all your favorite MySpace, Digg, YouTube, Gmail, Flickr, eBay, del.icio.us accounts – you name it (no, really, you can rename our entire site) – together on your own personal Netvibes page. 100% customizable – no ads, no logos, no corporate control.

It is everything that says and more. Most of us are accustomed to having Comcast, Yahoo, MSN, Google, or some other similar site as a home page. Each of them has some flexibility and customizable options, but this is different. It is completely adaptable to your preferences. I've just played with it for a short while, but I think I will use it as my regular home page. I can see my Facebook account, see blogs that I want to read, local weather, news tailored to my interests, and lots more.
