Netvibes Ginger moves into private beta, lets outsiders peek in through the glass
Netvibes has just launched a private beta of its new iteration, Ginger. To those lucky few who were given an invite; now you must know how those kids who found Wonka's Golden Ticket felt. For the rest of us, Netvibes was kind enough to post a run-through of some of their pending and exciting features. Netvibes has been one of the most popular and easy to use personal start pages for a long while (well, long in internet years; they're like dog years, you know). They offer tons of useful, ready to load widgets. Widgets include eBay, most popular online email accounts such as Yahoo! Mail and Gmail, Facebook, Digg, and many more. You can also insert any RSS feed and set up tabs for different content.
A few features upcoming in Ginger:
- Added 150 Premium Widgets
- Listen to your favorite web radio stations through Netvibes
- 2 GB of free storage space for every registered user
Ginger also looks poised to springboard into the next generation of the social internet. You can tag interesting blog posts, pictures, and video from your Netvibes page and then share them with your friends and family.
The official release of Ginger is in January. For now, you can check out Netvibes current release or visit the Ginger preview page.
