Mashable talked about the Netvibes Ginger update which was introduced to beta testers at the “Le Web 3″ conference in Paris last month.
With Ginger you could use some kind of premium widgets like the wsj.com widget which is much more sohisticated than an igoogle rss feed on your homepage.
But what is also a must have is the “friends” widgets where all your friends from your social networks are listed. Like the facebook news feed but an integration from all your favorite networks and not only facebook. Also a “status update” integration from social networks like studvz, myspace or facebook AND from Twitter or Skype could be very nice. Like the plaxo lifestream but without the necessity that all your friends need to have an account at plaxo.com. This would be a major improvement and you do not need to have 10 programs and pages open to be up to date…, although I like twhirl for Twitter. So watch out for the public version. Netvibes will play a major role in 2008 as one of the best personalized start pages for the web…
