iGoogle vs. Netvibes

I have been using Netvibes as my aggregator since it came available, and have loved it since day one. However, when Google rolled out iGoogle, I figured it required a look. So, I looked. Briefly.

First, you may or may not recall this post of mine about Google. Despite my continued wariness about their data mining, I still use them. But, I’m also still wary. Just be sure that you are aware of all the data they are collecting about you as you surf, read and aggregate.

Second, Netvibes’ preview interface beats iGoogle hands down. I love being able to read as little or as much as I want in a variety of different ways (mouse over, pop up, etc). Additionally, they just released an iPhone geared site. Very nice. ;)

So, explore, compare, do as you please… I’ll be sticking with Netvibes for now. Until they get bought by Google, that is.

    Have you tried PageFlakes (http://www.pageflakes.com)? I’ve switched completely. The reader gives you options of having your feeds on your “home” page and you have the option of reading it newspaper style via the Reader link. I think PageFlakes is going to overtake netvibes with its ability to add many flakes and customize your home page.
