自定义搜索平台 - Nowsy…

Nowsy的界面很像是众所周知的Netvibes，我一开始也以为是又一个自定义的个人首页，但是捉摸了一下之后觉得更像是一个个人搜索平台。
在那里你可以选择他们提供的“infobox”，目前提供有包…

[...] Sorry to interrupt, Richard, but this fairly recently in from TechCrunch Michael: yet another contender has just entered this crowded arena. [...]

hi there, just came across the mention of my site popurls.com and wanted to annotate that it’s a content aggregator (social, web buzz, bla) width an “editorial” selection of popular sources and _not_ a custom feed reader, aggregator, dashboard or web x.0 desktop.
just my 2 cents

@marcus, i agree with you

It’s not a full AJAX page (see the url). For example the YouTube module:

http://www.nowsy.com/view_youtube.php?b=31216

And we can’t see the videos!! Sorry but we can’t compare this page with Netvibes or PageFlakes, even with Webpi Ajax Page dedicated to podcasting

[...] I (and about half a million other people) found out about Nowsy this morning (you know, one reason why Web 2.0 companies could actually be successful after raising a few million is, rather than spend it on marketing, just send off a few emails to TechCrunch. It’s probably a better potential pay-off than running an ad campaign anyway). It’s an: Ajax home page that has many of the features of funded startups like Netvibes and Pageflakes (and Google IG and about ten other unfunded sites). [...]

[...] Pelo menos é o que parece até agora. Além de ser mais leve e não ficar demorando tanto para carregar o javascript, ele possui um sistema de busca “inteligente” que eu não havia considerado antes de ler isso aqui no TechCrunch. Vou acabar mudando minha página inicial para o Nowsy e Google IG ao invés de Google IG e Netvibes. [...]

“(I assume they are doing this by indexing the feeds on their own servers for later searches by users)”

C’mon Michael, you’re smarter than that! Try again…

Every time a review on TechCrunch has to specify what makes a site “unique” from the dozens of other clone-sites, it’s like a guarantee that the site is just that–a clone with a new feature or two. If you don’t care about that feature or don’t need it right away then you might as well stick with what Google or Yahoo or whoever the biggest player is because they’ll probably get around to adding it later anyway.

That sounds really critical–I’m actually glad that you review these new sites and (like in the case of Nowsy) I think that they’re interesting and fun to play around with for a few minutes. What I don’t understand is how you can start a business off a single feature or two and convince people that that feature or two is worth switching for. It must be a tough marketing task.

Google works pretty well. I try these others from time to time but it seems that once you have one of these set up and customized as I do Google it would take a great deal to move to something else. I have to expect Google to stay in business and keep improving their offering over time.

This is real cool. At first I thought: not another Ajax homepage, but this one is clearly something different. It may be inspired by popurls, but it offers so much more. Now I can search all the sources, add the sources I like, and shuffle them around. Popurls is just a list of static feeds.

They do need to work on the design. I like simple, but this is a little too simple. But the search feature rocks.

Aesthetically, it’s not very appealing at all, and the search option just isn’t enough to make me switch from Netvibes. ^_^

NOWSY…2am here..the later it gets the least likely I am to spellcheck,etc…ironically that is usually when I most need to…

I am waiting to see what you dig up on the Venice Project. I actually first heard about it a month ago from the founder of an outsourcing firm…However, he could only divulge a limited amount of details. Hopefully, you get some details..I am very interested in it…meanwhile I am going to continue to bug him about giving me more details..but I digress…

It’s Nowsy, not Flowsy.

Big news day. Lots I missed actually.

The ability to search makes Flowsy much more userful for me in comparison to netvibes, pageflakes, etc.

Mike, this must be a record for number of posts for you here in one day…everytime I refresh the page there is a new review up…
