Netvibes seems a lot more versatile than iGoogle. I created a Netvibes page and it's still in progress. I gather from our Web Admin that these applications, because they are free, can have glitches. (For instance, I wanted to access my Yahoo mail from the page, and Netvibes said at this time I couldn't, but suddenly it worked.) I noticed that one of the libraries using Netvibes had a regular homepage too, which seemed like it could be a bit much for some patrons.
I like how the Dublin City public library used Netvibes to create instant access to things like the News. We could access our local newpaper - with its blogs - and community happenings - and catch a little more attention to our community. We have local museums as well, and it seems that it would be great to have that kind of content available, along with local happenings.
