I been using Netvibes for quite sometime as my personal portal, why i call it personal portal ? because the info that you collect mostly are for your own use.
the idea behind personal portal its the same like you using web rss reader to read blog to save the time visit each of the blog, using the web personal portal, collect the rss feed from the web application that you using or favourite site rss.
lets say i using web application todo list, calendar, if these application provide rss feed, i can all add in my personal portal easy for me to view what event is coming, what thing i havent doen, if i using social bookmark service, i can add in rss feed of it and keep track what is the latest bookmark added .
other then all these rss feed support, Netvibes have some other interesting feature too , example you can check your gmail account latest email, you can track down some of the gadget pricing, telling you today weather and recently they just added flickr support and bookmark module. Don’t forget it allow you make a quick note too.
Netvibes is such a powerful tools, imagine you open it early in the morning, at one screen you can see any unread email, what you need to do on the todo list, any special event on your calendar, any latest comment on your blog ( through rss feed ) , any notes that you leave during yesterday meeting, latest news from digg or slashdot …
