With new Netvibes Buzz you will see not just how many shared the news but also who. I like it!

With the new Netvibes'Buzz Dashboard that you can check here : http://www.netvibes.com/buzz there is a new nice feature.

When you click on the publishing date of every buzz, you are shown with all the users that starred that activity with their comments. Not only your friends but all Netvibes users.

If one buzz was started by you, like the one in the capture it will allow me to see who also shared it and perhaps want to add as new friends some unknown user.

That is the start of a true Netvibes Community

I like that feature.

If you click on the user name, you will see all his activity.

First Results of the NETVIBES POLL: a Private Universe and a Netvibes Community

Hi,

the first results of the 2008 NETVIBES POLL (that you can vote here on the right column)
are available and we get among others:

1) 72% would like the possibility to have : Only a Private Group of Friends to access a specific page or Universe

2) 59% would like to be part of a "Wide Netvibes Community" ?

They are interesting as they give more indication of the social twist available with the new Ginger update of Netvibes that we are all waiting. (Have you given your name on the Facebook Netvibes Group ?)

A Private Universe, that could be seen and, why not used, by a small private group and in the same time a bigger, larger Community of users of the same service, focused on Netvibes.

It is not new, per se, but all this is new for Netvibes.

Why Netvibes is not organizing any Prize Contest ?

Hi,

here are some of my Marketing considerations on Netvibes

Now that Netvibes is more and more focused on mainstream users, I am surprise to notice that Netvibes is very keen to organize Parties for nerds (at Web conferebes as Le Web 3 in Paris or WEB2.0 in Berlin or ...) but nothing has been thought for developers and users at least since last year!

A Contest would create more emulation and more exposure. Prize would not be difficult to find for a company based in PARIS... (from Champagne bottles to Luxury weekends).

I have some ideas for contest:

• most innovative use of Netvibes page
• most complete on a certain subject
• most creative layout
• most easy to use
• Netviber user of the Month
• Netviber developer of the Month
• Widget of the Month

and some categories could be created:

• Travel
• Food/cooking
• Health
• Music
• Sport
• Brands ...

Each contest would last a few weeks and would be open to anyone. A short list should be selected by a "selected" pannel of independent Specialists on the matter. The short list would be then proposed to all the "netvibes community" that could vote for their best choice. (1 user = 1 vote).

The better the prizes, the bigger the buzz...

The overall result would be a bigger awareness of alternative uses and subjects already available in the Netvibes community.
