I had to check out Netvibes after reading a story about Kris Krug on Techvibes. Netvibes is a “multi-lingual Ajax-based personalized start page or personal web portal.”
Once I discovered the fun feeds on Kris’s page I figured I needed a page of my own. Since I use several social media channels, why not pull them all together. So I added my blog RSS, Flickr photo stream, YouTube videos and Twitter stream. As well, I created another page to capture similar feeds but using keyword “Yellowknife.”

This tool is a great asset to aggregate social media and other feeds. The Twitter widget was (and still is!) hanging, so I clicked “Add a feed” instead and pasted in the feed URLs, that works fine.
I also created a tab to stream some of Yellowknife’s social media scene, which is interesting. I like the hourly weather tweets, you get to see the trends better than just static temperature check.
I love Netvibes because it makes it so easy to pull in multiple feeds and present them in attractive ways. Which feeds should I add next?
awesome… still tinkering with working fancy rss feeds in that have been remixed w/ yahoo pipes and sorted with aide rss. whee newsmastery!
