I left after 2nd grade, when we moved to the states, so I'm not sure if we overlap. I checked out pageflakes. Seems very similar. Do you think they've got a different approach as far as bandwidth? Thanks for picking up our feed. Keep in touch Chris Hi David -

Interesting experience to compare with NetVibes.

My memory is so foggy... I've been using Netvibes for a while and have found it refreshing - I've used email RSS clients, "fat" desktop clients (RSS Bandit), and web based ones in addition to writing my own and feel like it's a good fit. The memory issue is a big one and I've always wondered why no one has thought of building a destkop client that reads like a newspaper the way that Netvibes does (and supports offline reading). They could also enhance the experience of adding feeds. I showed my wife how blogger blogs have a "magical" (but unlinked - what's up with that) file at http://foo.blogspot.com/rss.xml where the blog name is foo and that she could copy/paste these into Netvibes - a pain to configure but a timesaver in the end - but anyway, that whole referencing the xml file and pasting it into netvibes seems to be a technical obstacle that could be a making point for any RSS aggregator out there. Nice to see you out here and you're now officially aggregated on my end. Hey Chris,
