cool people use it

http://www.netvibes.com/

Netvibes, one of the sites I picked for B2.0's Web 2.0 Around the World map, just got additional funding of $15 million from Index Ventures (which backed Skype), and others. The Paris-based site boasts more than five million users.

Netvibes is one of the best mashup sites out there. It lets you create your own customized homepage, pulling in e-mail from Google or Yahoo, blog posts and news feeds from all over the Web, Flickr photo feeds, and del.icio.us links. Basically anything with with an RSS feed can be pulled into Netvibes, allowing you to centralize the Web in one place. It is built on Ajax software (which lets you drag and drop all the little modules around on your Web browser). Check it out.
