Just 26 more days before I hand over my hard-earned money to Apple — depending on how much it costs to sign up for the two year contract.
Is Netvibes the new Octopus? June 3, 2007
Posted by atharkhan in : Personal, Tech , 2commentsA few years ago, there used to be a site called Octopus.com. I found out about it from some list (maybe Red Herring’s?) of tech companies that would change the world. Octopus was my absolute favorite at the time because it allowed me to scrape information from various sources into a single start page. As I was reminiscing about it today, I was pleasantly surprised to see that there are not one but several similar sites now (many featuring AJAX) which allow users to do the same thing. After checking out a few, I have decided that NetVibes (www.netvibes.com) will be my new Octopus.
Although I am sad that Octopus is gone, I am happy that the concept of aggregation/scraping and customizing/controlling how information is presented has caught on.
