Since no one has spoken about it on the blogosphere (at least on the blogs i read) i decided to make a short post (netvibes did not announce yet).
Netvibes has improved slightly its interface with new police font but also cool integration of “play/download” function each time a podcast is detected. No need to open the feed to read it now. Play/Download directly from there. They also launched a cool Craiglist module
Details in execution make the difference between a good and an outstanding product. Netvibes is in the second category
Personally, I don t like the way Netvibes manages us (the customers).
For the 3rd time of the week, the appearance of the Welcome page change, the way they show the articles (Le monde, Techcrunch) change again and the number of unread articles does not match with the number of article with a BOLD font..
Well, I can I can readapt and reconfigure as it was before, before I never asked them to change them (putting more text, putting picture)...
Now I feel that for that kind of web 2 applications I can not really complaim beacause it is free, that s a pity.

Hey Ouriel,
If you haven't seen anything on the blogs you read about Netvibes' recent improvements, then it means you don't read my blog ;-)

You're right, I didn't delve into the details as much as you did.
Take care,
Jeremy
