I have so many Good friends on Netvibes... It is stupid to follow them on ... FriendFeed, no ?

After a few monthes with Netvibes' Ginger , I have now a good community of good Netvibes' Friends.
They are not my "real friends" that I meet in "real life". But they are good friends there on Netvibes. They have good suggestions, good readings. They open my vision with their own. They read things I was not aware and that I start to appreciate.
With time I had to drop some of the first friends I had add : their interests were too far from mine. But now my 160 friends are a good mix.

The most active of my Friends are just 20 or so but the "My Community" widget is now too small for me. I am not able to check all their interesting messages and favorites directly in the widget. And I can not be on Netvibes all day ;)

I can, of course go to the my Activity, in the upper menu but the reading is less pleasant.

Another solution is to go to FriendFeed.
There I can check again for my good Netvibes friends, add them to my profile and then check from there without any limitation. I will also be able to check all their activities not just their Netvibes' post.

I do not know why, but I found that stupid... And you ?

Anyway, here is my FriendFeed profile: http://friendfeed.com/netex
If you are following me on Netvibes and want to follow me there...

Exclusive: NetEx blog is the first blog offering a "Star This Post" badge for Netvibes: 4*/5

A few weeks ago I was complaining ( ;) ) that I need a Netvibes activity badge to place on my blog .

Developer Sébastien Poivre (Gizmhail) has just sent me a test version and it is working!

As what I undestand it is working just for Blogger blogs and with FireFox but that is ok for a first draft ;)

Sébastien Poivre (Gizmhail) is also the author of the Netvibes Bookmarklets.
One of them works like the badge but you need to have installed in your FireFox .

NetEx rating: 4*/5
Perfect, just what I and other millions of Bloggers and readers need.
WordPress blogs will also have their own badge... And I am sure Tariq Krim will want one on his new blog ;)

I will report here the link to the definitive url for using this badge, when Sébastien will have a proper page for it.

Netvibes unveils first official preview of Ginger release

Hi,

The Netvibes blog is unveiling the first official preview of the new Ginger release that will officially presented at the LE WEB 3 Conference in Paris next Tuesday.

As I already announced as a scoop, the main change will be the Social twist made by Netvibes.

With Netvibes Ginger, you will be able to:

• Import your friends from your favorite social networks or make new friends directly in your Netvibes page
• use Activity, a new feature that will let you know what your friends are doing
• you can archive and tag as favorite any content or any widgets for yourself or with your friends
• you can create your own Universe and build your public Netvibes page
• add your myspace or facebook friends, and distribute widgets

Perhaps all this could help NETVIBES to become my Single Social Interface ?
