Ginger is the next release of Netvibes, your super-personalized startpage, that introduces loads of cool and essential new features. Netvibes Ginger is currently in private beta.

Netvibes ginger will open mid-february for every netvibes user!

• One private page, one Universe: Create and personalize a netvibes Universe page just for yourself or publish one for your friends, family, everyone! A Universe is your very own personal dashboard that’s updated live directly from all your favorite Web services (email, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, widgets) and media content (blogs, podcasts, video). Everything you enjoy on the Web, available at a glance, all in one place — spend less time surfing and logging in from site to site and more time enjoying your web, your way.
• All your social profiles in one place: Build your netvibes public page and share with your friends and family all that matters most to you on the web, all your internet profiles, your favorite photos, videos, stories — everything.
• The perfect help for your social life: No more emailing links or bookmarking articles. Save or share anything you like on the Web automatically with the people you want with live timeline feeds of all your new favorite widgets, feeds, podcasts, photos and videos, articles and more.
• Connection with your friends: Easily add friends on netvibes by inviting them or import them from Facebook, twitter, MySpace, Flickr, GMail and Yahoo! Then, for the first time, your entire Web, your Universe, becomes a shared experience everyday: see what your friends are doing, what they’re reading or listening to, what their social networking activity is, their photo or video collections, etc.
• The ability to create your own widgets: Any widget on Netvibes can be easily personalized with different looks, synced with your user accounts on different services (like your Flickr or MySpace) and instantly shared with your friends and family — live and synced on any browser, desktop or phone they use.
