I have posted in the past of the importance of the test drive, and been taking my own advice over the past few weeks. My latest test drive has been of a web 2.0 technology called netvibes, and I have been extremely impressed with what I have found.
Netvibes is a unique technology upon which you can add modules and feeds that can be accessed from anywhere with a simple username and password. Upon signing into netvibes.com you are shown a few of the 700 modules that are available that include Google search boxes, mail account boxes, calendars, a bookmark log, and many more – all of which can be added or removed at will. Netvibes also allows you to sign into feeds of everything from the NY Times, to the BBC, and even a feed of your favorite blog.
What is extremely helpful to the high-tech attorney is the ability to log into the feeds of your own basecamp accounts. By subscribing to your projects’ feeds with netvibes you can receive abbreviated updates of your account right at your homepage.
I have been most impressed by netvibes because it makes RSS feeds easy to use for anyone. By placing the little synopses of added material from all of your feeds right onto a single page, it makes the RSS an arena that is easy to access and digest in an even shorter period of time.
So, just as the test drive equation goes, I have tested netvibes myself, and am giving you the go ahead to try it for yourself.
