I’m not a fan of “Start Pages” like Netvibes* but I am a fan of Veerle. So when I saw Netvibes had been Veerlized I had to go check it out. The theme is gorgeous.
I wonder how much Veerle charges for Veerlization? Wouldn’t mind getting our app. done.
* I am a classic geek who has about:blank as their browser start page. Anything else is too slow. Not to say it doesn’t work for other people, Netvibes and co. are useful for many people. Just not me and my strange brethren.
I am not a big fan of the personalised home page systems like Netvibes, Pageflakes and Google’s IG. I simply have not found much use for them and none have integrated into my daily life in any way.
Pageflakes though just turned the concept on its head by allowing users to share home pages. One user can start a page and then share it with others who can view it and customise it further. This doesn’t make it anymore useful as a home page but it makes it interesting as a team collaboration tool. With feed components one could display build status, shared email, shared documents, todo lists, project plans and a host of other info that a team needs to keep each other aware of.
I hope Netvibes includes this feature as I like their system a bit more than Pageflakes.
