My Netvibes account was just upgraded to 'Ginger', which is the name they've given to their latest version. They've added the ability to share your tabs in a publicly available personal 'universe', which in my case basically means you can see what blogs I'm following.

It's an interesting idea because until now Netvibes has essentially been a glorified web-based RSS reader: accessed through a browser but still private to each user. But now I can share what I'm reading, what inspires me, and explore what other people are looking at. In other words, it now ticks a couple more of those Web2 buzzword boxes. I'm almost sick of hearing them. You know the ones.

I'm sure there are other features too but I only set it up half an hour ago. I have no idea why one of the blogs is highlighted in orange!
