Netvibes: RSS and Goal Management

It is a simple way to manage your RSS feeds in addition to having numerous modules that allow you to create task lists, notes, weather trackers, etc. With the internet being the information overload that it is, neglecting to use RSS feeds to filter your favorite blogs/media sites, is like using excite.com as your search engine.
Really Simple Syndication offers instant updates of the newest posts and articles from your favorite sites. RSS really cuts down on the time I normally spend surfing around. Netvibes also features a summary of each post – this really helps in choosing which posts to actually read.
When managing my goals, I use a task list with the specific goal as the title and the action items as each ‘to-do’. I find it makes things easier since the layout allows you to see all of your goals and action items, rather than having them all spread out.
