More Netvibes reviews , RRP: Free

The good:

  • Easy to set up
  • Loads quickly
  • Tight interface sans ads
  • Easy to customise with news and e-mail messages
  • Lets you share your content

The bad:

  • Setup sends your password in a text e-mail
  • Failed to upload OPML feeds and insert some modules
  • Lacks user support forums

The bottomline:

If you want to fill a personal home page with dozens of individualised newsfeeds and tools, Netvibes does a cleaner job than rival services from bigger brand names.
