All Search Results in one tab: an approach that Netvibes should follow.

I just discovered
Addict-o-matic a new Web 2.0 aggregate search site that presents the search' results in a perfect "Netvibes style" in a single tab with indivual search widgets .

As you can see from the capture, I have tested it with the "netviber experience" string ;)
You can move the widgets like in your Netvibes and you can delete them.

I would love to have something similar in my Netvibes page.

In fact, I have already built a Tab Search in my Netvibes page that I have setted with the "netviber experience" string but I had to do it by hand. If I wanted a new string I would have to change the search string in every widget. And to check at the same time a Web search in Google and one in Yahoo I have to have 2 different search widgets.



Another solution, is to go in add content where you can do the search with the string you want and Netvibes will provide you on the left a choice of search type with all the searches setted to your string.


But you will have to add all the search widgets one by one to your search Tab ... and for each new search you will have to do same :(

In conclusion, I am sure thet this Search Result all in a tab approach will add more User Friendlyness to our loved Netvibes

Netvibes users want an "import all TAB" option from other's Universes

More and more Ginger users of Netvibes, and I am with them, want a new option when visiting a friend's Universe: "import all that Tab":

You can still import one by one the widgets you are interested in, but an import all the Tab would be much more elegant.

And here is another personal request: please, create a Sub-TAB option for users with a lot of Tabs ;)

NEW USER TAB: to help you start your Netvibes page if you are a new user

Hi,

If you are a "New User" and you would like to start using Netvibes, the first screen offerd at the moment by Netvibes is, as I already posted, so poor ...

So I prepared and published a tab, the NEW USER TAB that could be used as a starting point to build a "good" starting page for Netvibes new users.

The idea is that Netvibes should ask the new user something like :
"Please set your location to receive local news, blog feeds, weather and more "

As it is not exisitng at the moment, in my tab, I have done it by hand.
For starting the discussion I choose : DUBLIN and IRELAND but it would work for any other location.

The Tab presents what could be a new "new user tab" for Netvibes with:

a Weather widget (already existing)
some local news blogs (already existing) that I choosed from Netvibes Local content : Ireland
the email wizard widget (already existing)
the Ebay widget (already existing)
a map search (already existing)
the Ecosystem search widget (already existing)
and many searches widgets set on DUBLIN and the same set on IRELAND

The searches on the Location with the instruction on how to get the FEEDS directly on his new page should "inspire" the new user offering a choice of sources. The best selection is made, according to me, by Google.

That way, with the addition of a short Webnote to explain the first moves and with the links to FAQ and ECOSYSTEM it should help the user to catch the real value of the use of Netvibes.

PS:
the ECOSYSTEM Latest modules search widget is not working properly.
If I search in the widget for IRELAND it gives no results when if I search directly in the Ecosystem I can find 57 results of which some are pertinent.

A Netvibes Tab about Food

Hi,

in a recent post I wrote about a Food page in Pageflakes.

Now, browsing on Flickr images with the Netvibes tag I saw this neat and complete page made by dennisandluba:

If DennisandLuba reads this I would be pleased to be able to charge his/her FOOD STUFF tab!

More details on Netvibes TABS

Hi,

back to the desk , with some minor interesting change with Netvibes Tabs.

As you know, TABS are single pages with all their content: RSS feeds, calendars, webnotes, widgets ... You can find the 3.689 Tabs already available by looking in the Netvibes Ecosystem.

Untill now you could choose the Tabs just by its short description and the first 2-3 items but now if you click on the Tabs Page ( like the one for my LONDON UK ) you will be able to look at all the content. With the Mouse Over you can read all Link Locations.
That way you could souscribe just to a single item content of the chosen Tab!

That gives a better view of the Tab content... The way for Netvibes to the better Content is a long one but this one is another step.
