Well then, my very own PLE. I really don’t know what to say about it. I have two aggregators. If I can’t get to one, I can get to the other. Netvibes and Google Reader are the ones I use. Mainly because they’re just simple to use so I haven’t checked out any others. I have my things separated into to categories so when I look something up I know where to look first. The things that I actually use are separated from random things that I stumble across, which often times get deleted before long. In Netvibes, I make use of the three rows provided under each tab to further separate things in a category. I have tabs for technology, school work, social sites, manga sites, and game development. It’s just well organized and that’s what helps me the most. I know how to do research so if I feel the need to add anything on a whim I can. Often times, the sites that I have saved link to other sites that I would find useful and I take advantage of that. My PLE takes care of the things that I have to handle and that’s what makes it Personal. Thats’ what this guy happens to think.

Netvibes is very useful, but I would still like to try new ones that are offered out there. Or about to be out soon. I’d like to see what Adobe comes out with next. However, Netvibes has helped get organized with all of my favorite sites I visit daily. Why go out and browse the web through page after page when you can log in to your Netvibes and find all that you need there. I would like to see how other people have there’s set-up. I am sure there are some features I have to explore.

Reading what you use Netvibes gave me a few more ideas on how to make this site even more usefull. Its cool to see how Netvibes works differently for everyone.
For me I really liked the fact that I could get a quick view of my emails in netvibes. I have so many emails, one for school, one for friends, and one for work, and netvibes helped me get all those in one spot. I never thought of using it for social sites tho, like which sites do you use?
Yeah being organized with your aggregators is pretty important, seeing as how they are always changing and you are bringing in new content all the time. I use the same ones you use and for the same reasons as well. I have a school, home, and game tab on my netvibes site because those are the 3 main things that i concentrate on. I only use 1 column on a few tabs in mine beacuse i like to see the whole picture. Sometimes it can get too crowded.
