Netvibes Introduces Multiple Personalized Pages To Help Users Manage Multiple Aspects of Their Digital Lives

New technology platform sets the foundation for the personalized Web by enabling users to rapidly remix and publish multiple personalized pages

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) May 27, 2009 -- Netvibes (www.netvibes.com), the leading personalization platform for the Web, today launched new capabilities that enable users to quickly remix, remake and republish different types of personalized pages underneath one account--an industry first. Netvibes Multiple Personalized Pages give users the freedom to grow beyond the traditional single startpage by offering the flexibility to manage and organize different aspects of their daily digital lives across separate personalized pages. This represents the first of many new features to be built using the next version of the Netvibes core personalization engine which will set the foundation for viewing, publishing and personalizing the entire Web in completely new ways.

"The first generation of early startpages was search-centric, offering only basic content choices under the supervision of the big portals. The second generation, pioneered by Netvibes, was driven by the ability to personalize every aspect of one's digital life and to have it delivered to their own private dashboard," said Netvibes CEO Freddy Mini. "Over the coming months, our new personalization engine will take this concept of personalization to the third dimension, by enabling users to personalize the entire public Web itself and how they view it. Netvibes Multiple Personalized Pages are the first step in this direction, giving users room to expand beyond the confines of the traditional startpage."

As people embrace an increasingly wide array of media content, social applications and platforms, friends and networks, RSS feeds, widgets and more, there is a growing need to manage various aspects of their personal lives separately. Although traditional startpages help people gather their Web favorites in one place, since they are limited to just a single dashboard, many people are running out of room to keep track of their rapidly growing collections.

Now with Netvibes Multiple Personalized Pages, people can freely and fully express the myriad of different aspects that comprise their digital lives and manage them all in one single place. In addition to multiple startpages, Netvibes Personalized Pages can be used to create:

•    Topic Pages: Track favorite hobbies, sports teams, entertainment news and more

•    People Pages: Follow friends, family and social activity feeds

•    Public Pages: Publish a small business website, online portfolio, aggregated online profile and more

•    Business Dashboards: Monitor industry, client and competitor news, and access email, calendars, tasks, CRM and other workplace tools

•    Branded Microsites (for marketers): Rapidly publish user-personalizable brand, product and media pages with Netvibes Premium Universe

•    Enterprise Portals (for large companies): Serve and scale employee dashboards, intranets and user-personalizable websites globally with Netvibes Enterprise

For example, a user may have a main startpage to organize the news, blogs, email, weather and social networks they keep track of every day. In addition, he or she could have separate personalized pages to keep track of different sports teams, hobbies and games; a workplace dashboard to keep track of clients and industry news; a dashboard to monitor friends and family's social activities; and a public widget-based website to showcase their small business. Each of these different pages may be personalized to have completely different designs and include widgets or content that are shared simultaneously across some or all pages.

New page publishing and management tools also make it easy for users to quickly build new pages or copy and remix old ones simply by dragging tabs from one page to another. Also, a convenient drop down menu enables users to travel instantly from one personalized page to another and any widget within Netvibes can now be republished on different pages simply by clicking its "Share" button. Moreover, when users visit Premium Universes of their favorite brands, they can personalize their own copy of the microsite, bookmark it to their page list, and link it to their Netvibes account.

Multiple pages are the first of many new features that will be built on the next version of the Netvibes personalization platform over the coming months--

including a powerful new RSS reader and management system. Netvibes underlying core technology has been completely renovated to meet the growing performance needs of its millions of users and thousands of brand, publisher and enterprise customers--and scale orders of magnitude beyond. Netvibes personalization engine now has the capacity to enable a new generation of tools that will give users the ability to personalize not just their own space, but the entire Web itself; and view it in entirely new ways.
