NetVibes Stock Market Tab Module
By Michael on Aug 22, 2006 in Stock Market
I’ve finally decided to change my web browser’s home page to NetVibes. For those unfamiliar with NetVibes, it’s similar to “My Yahoo” but a lot more flexible and open. From their about page:
Netvibes.com is a custom made web 2.0 home page solution
This service is free and gives the user the ability :
- to create a personalized page with the content they like.
- to put together data feeds and services from web 2.0 with a very simple interface
- to access your page anytime and from any computer .
It is also possible to :
- browse, modify, and import your RSS feeds with our integrated RSS/ATOM feedreader. You can easily import an OPML file as well.
- to import, download and listen podcasts without any additional software
- to check your mail on one or many gmail account, to stick webnotes, weather and many more to come !
One of the cool features is the ability for users to share tabs (layouts / templates). One of the first things I did was search the NetVibes Ecosystem for a stock market tab to add to my NetVibes page. There wasn’t one out there so I decided to throw one together real quick. I think it’s a good startign point for people to track the markets. It contains some financial blogs, financial podcasts, headlines from news sites, a stock quotes module, a bookmark module and top stories from Digg.com’s Business & Finance section.
Here’s a screen shot (click for a larger view):
Any NetVibes users can add that tab to their own NetVibes page via the following button —

Awesome.
I’ve been thinking of switching to Net Vibes for a while. My Google Homepage is getting pretty crowded, and I can’t wait any longer for them to implement a tab feature.
Your finance tab might be just the thing to push me over the edge. Thanks for putting it together.

Hi Mike,
I’ve been using netvibes for quite a while now. Netvibes is fantastic. Good choice!

Maybe I am the only voice of dissension, but I still prefer MyYahoo!
NetVibes does not appear to have as nice of a “look and feel” as I have designed on my personalized MyYahoo!, and I don’t think it can match the content I have. I have everything there - pics, stock market, news, email, TV, Music, Sports scores, and blogs…
Good luck with it though!

You’re so Web 1.0!

I was Web 1.0 when Web 1.0 wasn’t cool.
I predict you will be back to MyYahoo! in 30 days or less.

Are you long YHOO?

No, but I should be.
I think they have the best web based email - especially the new Beta version which is phenomenal. And, I like MyWeb too.
FYI - DBRN was a great short today. 15-minute chart, break of the second bar low, covered at the Fibonacci extension.
Have a good afternoon.
