WOW!!! I've always wondered how sites like these work. I found it very interesting that I can have all the sites that I visit at my fingertips without ever leaving one page. What a great way to organize yourself. The site, Netvibes, itself, was kind of hard to navigate. I want to organize it another way, but found it took so much time.
I was a little overwhelmed at the amount of information that is out there. The tab feature is most helpful due to the fact you can be very specific on your RSS feeds that you gather. When searching for topics on my writing tab, I found a McREL webinar that I've registered for. Without these exercise, I would not have known about the program. I would like it to be more "searcher" friendly. I do not have time to sit and look through every item. I found myself adding sites that I may or may not ever use.
I want to create a tab for my son on my computer so that he has his "personal" page for all of his sites that he visits on a daily basis. Students in classrooms could use their teacher's netvibes to do research on specific topics, but I think I like the web 2.0 tool Symbaloo better for that purpose.

Just wanted to follow-up with the webinar I found on my RSS feed ~ WONDERFUL presentation. Some really great ideas and spreadsheets that I will be able to use when I am planning my change unit for our Systems class. I'll share with everyone on Monday night. :)
