SCOOP: Netvibes widget will record your videos within your Netvibes page and then post them to Seesmic

SCOOP: A new Netvibes widget will allow you to recording your videos/webcams within your Netvibes page and then post them to the Seesmic video platform.

This widget is coming from the San Francisco office of Netvibes.

Some recent test videos are here:



and here:



Seesmic, a video chat service, was founded in September 2007 by serial entrepreneur, Loic Le Meur. In addition to his successful track record with start-ups, Loic is also one of Europe’s best-known bloggers and founder of LeWeb3, the largest European conference focused on rising stars and established players on the Web (over 2000 participants from 40 Countries at the last edition). Loic also served as Internet advisor to French President Sarkozy and serves as an advisor to the World Economic Forum in Davos.

2 new bookmarklet for your Netvibes: Share url and Update Status 4*/5

If you are a FireFox user and have a Netvibes page, there 2 new bookmarklets for you.

A bookmarklet is a small application that is stored in your own browser (here FireFox) as a bookmark.

A French (?) developer GIZMHAIL has just finished them and they are still warm...

1) "Netvibes activity post bookmarklet" : simply allows you to update your status, without being in your Netvibes page.
If you click on it in your browser bookmark bar (no matter what page you're on), you'll be asked to write your message (ie. your new Netvibes activities status), and it will be pushed to your public activities.
An useful feature is that the text you'll have to write will be filled by default by the text currently selected in your browser, if any.

This Bookmarklet, that in my own browser I have renamed as: Netvibes2 Update Status, is useful if you do not want to go back to your netvibes page to change your status.

2) "Netvibes activity favorite bookmarklet":
If you fall upon an interesting page (but not necessarily found through your Netvibes feeds ), simply click on your bookmarklet in your browser bookmark bar to share the url where you currently are. You will have the opportunity to add a comment"

This one is also a useful bookmarklet, that I renamed Netvibes2 Share Url.

But :( in my browser, this bookmarklet is duplicating the STAR button on the new Netvibes ADD2NETVIBES extension for FF ( http://eco.netvibes.com/extensions/fire … -0.8.0.xpi )
The only advantage for this bookmarklet is that if you have selected some text on the page you want to share, this same text will be the comment of your starring. I like it for that .

NetEx Rating: 4*/5 for an easy and user friendly application .
I hope that in the future they can be integrated in the Add2Netvibes extension !


TO INSTALL :

Simply drag (click left) and drop the following links up in your FireFox bookmark bar

Netvibes activity post bookmarklet - By Gizmhail Update Status

Netvibes activity favorite bookmarklet - By Gizmhail Share Url

The bookmarklets are ready for use ! (you need to have logged in on your Netvibes during the session of course to make them work).
You can also rename them.


The original post presenting the Bookmarklets in the Developers Forum is here

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

I want a Summize Widget not on Twitter but on all Netvibes users updates !

I really like the Netvibes' Summize Widget that I presented yesterday.

I have 4 copies of it: 1) with search "netvibes" , 2) with "netviber" , 3) with my city and 4) with the search of the day : "hot" (check the capture)

It is creazy how many people are Twittering near you (your city) or are using the same expression (hot)!!

I have "followed" a few of them and, who knows, they could become "friends"...

Now, imagine the same service offered by Netvibes with a search on all our Netvibes users public updates : that would be also an easy and yet massive source of information !

And it would be also another "competitive advantage" for Netvibes ;)


PS: one of the most searched string is possibly "iphone", strange no ?

Tired of NetviBes ? Try NetviDes ;)

Checking the entry pages to this blog, I discovered a Yahoo search ! Yes somebody is still using it.

I decided to check it with "netvibes" and I found a new site: http://netvides.com

In fact, it is just a mirror site but I liked it ;)

Netvibes' Help Line on Twitter: netvibes_help

By checking the new Summize widget by Netvibes (4*/5), I found a new Twitter user:
netvibes_help. At first I thought it was a joke (I like jokes ;) ) but n ow it turns out it is a real Netvibes Help service.

It answers in English and French ;

So, just in case you need it one day, here is the Netvibes Help Line on Twitter: http://twitter.com/netvibes_help

If you want to follow also my own Twitter here is it too: http://twitter.com/Netviber

New Netvibes' Summize widget to search all Twitter posts: NetEx rating=4*/5

I was testing a new "real time" search service, called SUMMIZE, that searches all public posts of TWITTER the cool and trendy Instant Messaging that you can use with your mobile or the web.

Now, Netvibes has just published a clean Summize Widget with the search already setted on "netvibes" ;) Of course, you can put what you want: your name, your city, your country, ...

You do not need to have registred with Twitter unless you want to write something yourself.

You can not leave the search blanck (and hope to follow Twitter on line) as the widget will reinstall "netvibes".

It is nice that with this Netvibes Summize widget you can star and comment in your Netvibes a Twitter message of someone you are not following with Twitter.

There is also an option by which you can select a user and get all the posts he made with that search string.


NetEx Rating: 4*/5

For this new, clean and simple Netvibes' Widget that let's you follow on Twitter the subject that you are interested in. (Would love to have a count message read and the possibility to change the title to include the search string ;) )

Install this widget by clicking here :
and It will be added in my REAL ESSENTIAL WIDGETS (and extensions) Tab on my Universe.
