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.
