Netvibes is easily my favourite RSS, News, Email, Facebook and other content aggregator for building a personalised homepage.
The simple drag and drop widget based system is just so much fun, and makes it much easier to stay on top of all your favourite web places in one page.
But again the big question is the revenue / business model. In this case, so far they seem to have limited it to sponsored widget placement (see second link below). This is great for users, but ultimately probably won’t make it on to many consumer digital marketing schedules (at least not for a while).
Probably the more profitable route is in commercial relationships with digital publishers keen to grow or maintain audience numbers to fuel their own online advertising revenues.
In the meantime, thanks Netvibes for such a great homepage.
