twitter + netvibes

Twitter is a a mini blogging tool that asks one question: What are you doing? The service allows you to follow users or be followed. Posts are short; 140 characters to be exact, and can be sent or received through the web, standalone programs such as Twitterific, text message, or the AIM instant messaging client. The service has been used in a number of manners including posting articles, documenting trips / events, and letting your friends in the area know where you are.

Netvibes was introduced to me one weekend by my friend Brad Levinson, and offers its users the ability to cater the web to their needs through RSS feeds. Content pages are organized by tabs and the pages are customizable from one to four columns.

And here are three (3) examples of how I use the two web applications together.
