About Netvibes
Netvibes was a personalised start page and dashboard where you arranged RSS feeds, widgets for weather, email and social accounts, and other modules into tabs. Launched in 2005 and later acquired by Dassault Systèmes, it was popular as an iGoogle-style home page and as a feed reader with a visual widget layout, and the company also sold media-monitoring dashboards to businesses. Netvibes.com has now been retired as a standalone service; the Netvibes name continues as a Dassault Systèmes brand for enterprise products. It is included because people who relied on its dashboards are still looking for replacements. Inoreader and Feedly are the closest hosted feed readers, Feeder offers dashboards for monitoring, and self-hosters often move to FreshRSS.
Best for: Former Netvibes users looking for a replacement dashboard or feed reader.
