Tariq Krim Netvibes' CEO announces improvements and offers apologies

"First and foremost, please accept our apologies for the downtime following netvibes' major architecture upgrade."

With these words, finaly, Tariq Krim, Ceo and founder of Netvibes of Netvibes, announces the end of the "Spring Up-grade" (not for all) and, more important, the changes that are coming.

Here is the list:

1) Every Netvibes page will be moved on Ginger (first to migrate, the most frequently used). That is cool as I will be able to invite "real friends" that are not techie ;)

2) No obligation to create a public netvibes (or universe): you can activate it anytime later.

3) Wider Localization: the new CDN has improved dramatically both in speed and acceleration worldwide (USA, Europe, China, Africa, South America) with more than 140 countries. But content is not already following

4) A new Corporate Web site for Netvibes is announced.
My guess: http://corporate.netvibes.com

5) a lot of other new services and widgets will be presented soon.


Well, better late than never !

PS: I have lost all my Friends and Activities ... but I am sure they will come back :)

End of beta test for Ginger release as Netvibes starts upgrades

Its the end of the Beta testing.
Some users are already migrating to Ginger.
All will follow.

You need a valid email !

NETVIBES is almost down again, but no warning this time...

Hi,

I can access my Netvibes page, but no feed is working only: weather , searches and webnotes...
No access to Universe.

But this time no warning or message from NETVIBES :( !!

Many complain for upgrading without any backup server...
This point is a serious one, for the Best International Startup ;) no matter if the service is for free and in Beta...
