Netvibes is an RSS reader that houses all of your information feeds in one place. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, basically its a piece of web technology lets you know when something new happens on a website you read. To do this you need something called a reader, like Netvibes.
Once you have created an account you can personalise the page how you like and share it online. I have been using Netvibes for about a year now and have recently published some of my feeds on a public page: www.netvibes.com/paulthurston
Netvibes also allows for Facebook, Google Calender/Mail etc. to work within the application. If you are unfamiliar with RSS then this RSS in plain english video by commoncraft explains how it all works.
