New STAR IT! widget: share and favorite any URL : 5*/5


STAR IT ! this fresh and hot new widget from Maurice Svay of the Netvibes team is one that all Ginger users were waiting for.

With this easy widget, just copy the URL of any post, image, video, webpage, ... you want to star (make favorite) , click STAR and you have your favorite.
You can now choose to send it to your Private or your Public activities. You can add also a comment.

Just perfect ! It works on your Private page and on your public Universe.

To be improved: nothing on the widget, but we will need some kind of Star Box with appropriate tools to use and recover past starred items.

UPDATE: If a FireFox Star it! plug-in was to become available that would make a huge increase for Netvibes appeal ;)


NetEx Rating: 5*****/5

I have add it in my list of REALLY Essential Widgets on my Universe were you can get it directly to your own Netvibes page or you can get it here

The widget is a good idea!! but I also think that a bookmarklet should be better option (like Google Stuff or Iminta).
