Okay, I am a big time geek. Especially when it comes to internet sites that are on the cutting edge, or as it is often called Web 2.0.
Well one of my favorites is a kind of site that is called a virtual desktop. It organizes a lot of your information in the same place. It is Netvibes.
What is cool is that it is a free service and it has lots of different kinds of content that you can add, and now even gives you the ability to have tabs, so you can have dedicated areas. Until you play with this you really won’t know what I am talking about, but after you check it out come back here cause I am going to list my tabs and how I have organized my information on the site.
My Tabs:
Utilities: This has Gmail, Weather, Writely, Box.net, and Webnote pad.
RSS Interest: Here I organize the RSS feeds from websites I frequent that I have an interest in. So far I have: 43Folders, Moleskinerie, Lifehacker, Engadget, Gizmondo, and Techcrunch
Blogs: All blogs have RSS feeds, and since Netvibes lets you add your own feeds, I have all the blogs that I frequent loaded up here.
Meebo: If you haven’t heard about Meebo, it is a Web 2.0 site that lets you log into and live chat with people from you instant messenger program of choice, through the web browser. Well, you can now add a Meebo Tab, and have all your im’s automatically load up.
Next Actions: This is a page where I organize all of my next actions (to-dos). I have them organized by context (in truly minimalist GTD style) as Work, Home, Errands, and Contact.
Well, if you didn’t get enough links from this blog post, then you simply won’t be satisfied. But what you can be satisfied with is how sweet Netvibes is!
