Task 8 - Dashboards

Dashboards! The concept intrigued me, and yet......

A few times in the last week or so I've hopped onto Netvibes, and tried to summon the energy to investigate it - I'm sad to say, it hasn't really happened. I set up two dashboards - one personal, and one for work. I can see the value in setting up an account for work purposes, particularly in a job like mine where I need to consistently blog the latest news in my area. It is too easy to get behind on industry news, or overwhelmed with feeds or email newsletters - the dashboard looks as though it could save a lot of time, but potentially inundate you with useless information. I guess it's a weigh-up between pros and cons.

For my personal needs however, it doesn't suit at all. I am perfectly happy with my Google Reader and the gazillion tabs I leave forever open on my Macbook.

I'd be interested to see others' dashboards though - has anyone made theirs public?
