Netvibes Ginger now open to the public
Netvibes Ginger is now open to the general public. Netvibes Ginger takes the personalized home page in a new, and more social, direction. Most of the new features in Ginger are designed to create a more social experience within your Netvibes home page: the ability to invite friends, a Netvibes Wall comments feature (similar to the commenting section on MySpace), the ability to share widgets with your friends, and much more.Any registered Netvibes user will be prompted to upgrade to the release when you visit your main Netvibes home page (with the option to decline the upgrade, though we're not sure why such intrepid Download Squad readers as yourselves wouldn't want the latest and greatest).
If you don't have a Netvibes account, you can sign up and make the move into Ginger. Netvibes Ginger also includes basic performance improvements and some bug fixes.
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

I just signed up, but their system says it'll take up to 24 hours to migrate me. Must be a lot of netvibes users queued up to get it...

It took about 15min for them to migrate my account. New interface is slick! Still setting up my public into though.

Netvibes is probably the best web-based RSS aggregator but why not aggregating web sites rather than RSS feeds ?
Find what you’re looking for by flipping through pictures rather than by scanning a list of text entries.
Just try Web2Wave http://www.web2wave.com
Web2Wave Cover Flow-style interfaces provide an easy and fun way to sort through large volumes of information and find the piece you want at any given time.
