RSS reader at the start: who better to iGoogle, Netvibes or Pageflakes?
Productivity / / December 23, 2019
As it became known to all fans iGoogle Now a gadget that displays feeds shows a pop-up message with the contents of the news under the cursor. We can not say that it is a novelty, since this functionality was already in Netvibes and Pageflakes. But who among them is better for quick reading of most relevant RSS feeds, information which is vitally important at the moment of the appearance?
I'll start with iGoogle: the developers did not bother with the use of HTML and just added the title attribute to all the news headlines. The solution is universal, reliable, but not beautiful, it does not show the format and incorrectly displays the special characters.
Netvibes is not too lazy to write the code to display pop-up messages in a separate element HTML:
It looks nicer, you can display and formatting and special. characters. However, there is roughness: an empty element for the elements with neteksovym content looks messy, flicker of the element to redraw annoying recording cut off too much, causing almost always open message.
Now take a look at Pageflakes:
Immediately it should be noted that this is a private sale, as well as in Netvibes. And deprived of the main drawbacks: the circumcision of texts. Otherwise, they are very similar.
Conclusion: if I wanted to quickly read the message content RSS feeds without opening them, I would prefer the implementation of Pageflakes. But all these gadgets have one common flaw: I can not exclude the unnecessary or seen a message is as simple as to look into it.
