Meebo and Netvibes Are Closing In On Greatness

July 27, 2006 on 1:34 pm | In Meebo, Netvibes |

Recently Meebo and Netvibes teamed up and there is a good chance that this can be a huge hit. The Meebo implementation opens in a separate tab in NetVibes but makes a sound to notify you of new IM messages if you’re on the main NetVibes tab. (Techcrunch)

I love the concept of Meebo becoming an option at Netvibes, but it is just falling short of brilliance. Honestly the great thing about Netvibes is that all that everything you need is on a single page. Yes some people have so much, that they need the tabs; but the option to put Meebo on the same page as most of your feeds would be monumental. The best way to go about this is to possibly minimize everythign, and have the buddy lists and chat windows come to the forefront. If Meebo and Netvibes could work that out, Netvibes could EXPLODE!

  2. […] Why isn”t there something out there like mindmapping for READING? Specifically why isn’t there something out there for reading RSS feeds - in a new and more powerful manner? Maybe not mindmapping, but please stop developing the same product over and over again. The ‘river of news’ and categorized reader layouts are taken! A feed reader that could help us immensly by eliminating the hurdle of initially establishing an intrinsically appropriate or relevant conceptual framework to work within would be groundbreaking! Somethig that could capture, structure, and shuffle information at our fingertips. There are not very many innovative RSS readers out there. Bloglines,Google, Newsgator, Flock, Thunderbird, GreatNews, FeedDemon, Netvibes, and all the rest areall the same. The best new innovator on the scene is newshutch a web-based RSS aggregator. However, newshutch isn”t really innovating when it comes to actually reading the feed. […]
