[Webpub] personal portal pages

[Lisa Mayer]

There are two fun personal portal pages I’ve been playing with  
lately. One is iGoogle, the other is Netvibes.

You need to set up an account for both (obviously) but I found  
Netvibes to be the faster of the two to set up. With iGoogle, you are  
limited to their services (which is nothing to sneeze at, really:  
Gmail, google maps, et cetera). With Netvibes, you get to pull in RSS  
feeds from any website, plus display Flickr search results (search  
for “the adventurer” and you’ll see our wonderful hand model) and  
display any iCalendar you subscribe to - plus a whole lot more.

Have fun portal-ing!

Many thanks to Katie Vale of DUE’s Office of Educational Innovation  
and Technology (OEIT) and Jeff Reed from IS&T’s Departmental  
Consulting and Applications Development (DCAD) for this post idea.  :)
