From Netvibes to Google Reader

Ok, so Netvibes went down due to system upgrading but this simply fuel my desire to import my OPML file to Pageflakes but it didn’t work. So I tried the trusty Google Reader and it worked seamlessly. Google Reader improved a lot with a new feature called Trends where you visualize your reading and subscription trends. And it’s getting a little bit social too where you can share your read items akin to del.icio.us, and make it available through Google Chat or Google Talk.

Btw, if you are using FriendFeed, you may find MySocial 24×7 a great tool in the form of Firefox extension. But the news of the day is that of Microsoft’s Live Mesh. Looks like Soonr is getting a hefty competition from Microsoft though this information access anytime, anywhere is still years away from operating seamlessly. The mobile side of the equation is still nascent at best.
