Netvibes add tabs…

April 10th, 2006

Life just gets better all the time, the personalised desktop that I use called Netvibes has just added tab functionality to the system. For those of you unfamiliar with tabbed functionality it is something that I would not be able to live with during my online activities, for example tabbed browsing in Firefox has both increased my productivity as well as save me time.

How is tabbed functionality going to help me whilst using Netvibes?   Netvibes allows you to do a large number of things within a web page environment. I can keep an eye on articles from my favourite websites, I can add webnotes, view my email coming in, check the weather, store my bookmarks and even store files using a 3rd party site. Cool huh?

Although Netvibes is an awesome tool, I have run into the problem where I am beginning to get too much information in one place which can be confusing but now I will be able to group different sets of information to make life easier.

For example, I think I might set up the following tabs:

• Personal
• Bookmarks
• Blogs
• To-do’s
• Files

That will be a start anyway, beyond that I am sure there will be a fair bit of tinckering to make it behave just how I want it. Why don’t you nip over and grab an account. I hope you find it as useful as I do… I’m off to play with my tabs!!!
