Bye bye live.com, hello Netvibes
I’ve been using Microsoft’s Live’s startpage as my default startpage for almost a year now. I had my main feeds there which worked quite well. This weekend I tried out Netvibes and I am really impressed with it. It has so many great features and is really quick to "work" with. Not only can you have your feeds there, you can also have your notes, Google calender, weather and to-do lists. You can also have multiple tabs with different areas of choice, this way you don´t need to have everything on your frontpage. It is also easy to import RSS feeds by uploading an OPML file.
If you haven´t tried Netvibes out should really check it out.

Looks and behaves quite great, but how do I see which feeds that has unread items? Right now I have to click on every feed to see if it has unread items..?

Martin, I do really follow you. Please explain a bit more.

If you take a look at the screen shot below, nearly all feeds have unread items, but it cannot be seen that they have unread items.

I think you need to add the feed to your page (Add to my page). Then you get a number of how many unread items you have. Check my screenshot above where it sais (10) in red, that means that that tab has 10 unread items. To make all items in a feed read just click the number. Hope that this helped.

Yeah, I think I figured it out.. Thanks for your help!
But it’s very time consuming to add all feeds to new tabs via “Add to my page”. And I dislike that you don’t have as good overview on netvibes as on bloglines or Google Reader..
