Netvibes Reflections

The Netvibes portal has impacted my research in several different ways. It does make looking up recently posted information easier than having to go look up the information from each area. The only problem that I have with Netvibes is that some of the widgets wont display the data that is needed. I dont think that it is an essential tool, but it is a helpful one. It may save time, but it isn’t neccesary for research. I really don’t use it all that much, and prefer to keep the sites that I need open in tabs. Netvibes is slightly complicated to use, and not all the features work as expected.

If someone looked at my Netvibes page, they’d see a pretty basic research layout. The portal itself does reflect what I’m researching, but very loosely. Most of my research is already on Evernote, and I’ve little to continue to search for sources. On the other hand, the portal shows everything that I need to keep connected with the primary sites I need. My process for deciding what widgets to use was simple. I mainly got what I needed to use, and located some widgets that might have helped me locate other information sources that I missed. I’ve used Netvibes very little overall compared to other resources.
