Netvibes the popular personalized home page
Netvibes, the popular personalized home page, works great as an RSS reader, but if you’re using it only for this reason, you’re missing out. With the colossal number of available modules, you can use it to increase your productivity or even do serious work. Create a new tab, slap on the following Netvibes modules, and you’ve got yourself a lightweight and always available online office environment.
Webnote
This one is a no-brainer; every office needs its post-its, and webnote will give you the ability to quickly jot down whatever is on your mind at the moment. The webnote module from the Netvibes development team, but we prefer Strongbox, which lets you encode your notes with a password-protected 128-bit encryption for additional security.
To do list
If you need an office, it probably means you have stuff to do. Make sure you don’t forget about them (or procrastinate too much) with this handy to do list module. We’ve included a generic one (which you can find under the Add Content menu in Netvibes).
Address book
Most people already have an address book of preference, but this little module supports importing and exporting, which means you can easily populate it with contacts of your friends and colleagues.
Calendar
There are plenty of calendars presented for Netvibes.
Finance
We’ve noticed that for some strange reason, many business-like people take a great deal of interest in money. Thus, we’ve also included a finance module, which can display currency exchange rates, all the major world indices (Nasdaq, Dow Jones, etc) as well as stock quotes of your preference.
Clock
Although not of crucial importance, you can never go wrong with a clock. This one is analog and quite customizable. If you need to know time in more than place in the world, you can set it to show time for up to three different time zones.
Translator
If you need to quickly translate some text, what better tool to use than Google translator? This module makes it even easier. All available languages from Google Language Tool are supported.
Unit Converter
Yes, you can use Google for this purpose, but this unit converter is a bit more practical and definitely looks nicer. Besides, it can convert a staggering number of nearly a hundred different measuring units.
ScribblePad
If you’re a visual type of person who likes to scribble down little drawings when you need to concentrate, you might want to add ScribblePad to your online office. It’s a simple drawing module without any additional options, but it works!
