Netvibes Ginger: impressions.
January 31, 2008 10:28 am Among the narrow streets of old Taranto, gulping a bottle of beer Raffo ... quiet, you have the wrong blog today, courtesy of Andrew, the microphones of Nissardo blog there's me, Frankie, to talk about the new version of Netvibes Ginger codename .
The new ideas are few and resume already seen elsewhere, see them in detail:
- Favorites
The small icons in the shape of a star with the "+" allows you to add the selected item as a favorite store or use it as a private and public reminder to create a new menu from cronostoria available at the top of the page.
- Activities
This area lists the activities we perform and you can also follow those of our friends. In particular, Friends activity feels very lack of what I consider the greatest strength of Netvibes: About how many items were not read / considered.
- Network
In Network (Contacts in Italian) is a list of their friends and those who showed interest in the universe you created. A feeble attempt to create a social network? Who knows.
- Profile
In this profile is the ability to set our status, a feature that we have learned to know the messenger: a learned quotation, our thoughts, an ad that will be read by our friends in the task pane.
In addition to the features described here in the official blog of Netvibes is also referred to:
- Premium Widgets : UWA modules such that aggregate more than a feed of the same type (eg all categories of the Reuters news). Since modules can be used regardless of whether or not you use Ginger.
- Listen to webradio: previously existing features in MP3 player designed with flash technology and exploited in a clever way by the developer of the module Web Radio Player . This is also a module that requires no Ginger.
- 2GB of free storage space: the feature that proved to be the most interesting, unfortunately, begins with small icons in black and white shaped folder with the disappointing commentary coming soon.
In conclusion, this new version adds nothing innovative ideas at the bottom are good but they are implemented badly missing the definition of a clear goal, it seems a position to become a social network but is still much work to do and there is the problem that they have no notification (style numeretto feeds) to be informed about what people do that we set as our friends (you can use to overcome the geek method, or create a card using the feed that provides friends Netvibes Ginger who has an account).
I do not really liked this new version, you?
PS. To try it you can request an invitation on ginger.netvibes.com .
