From a technology point of view this is the smoothest integrated non-big-corporation app that allows multiple assets to be present & usabel in the one view. This is a massive plus for any user of the internet who is information hungry and low on patience. From the point of view of user figures, how best could you describe a user of netvibes, somebody who checks it out once, somebody who sets up their own view on the net on netvibes, somebody who comes back and views it every day for a month, a year? For a young company to be ranked 575 in page views by Alexa is pretty impressive. It's also obvious that they are continuing to grow in stature as their daily visitor numbers are climbing every day. Who knows what they will do with the investment they've recieved, but based on what they ahve produced so far, I can't imagine it will be wasted! i only recently stumbled accross netvibes and have to say that from a user experience point of view I find it stunning.
