I Banned Google!

I used to have google.com as my Firefox's startpage, I enjoyed it, but now I've put www.netvibes.com so I can list many RSS feeds and if I want to use Google I press CTRL+K on Firefox and I can type my search. I'm fed up of Google putting my sites in supplemental results, then putting me in the full index again, then not.. sadistic google! I got my revenge.. GOOGLE, YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN BAN!!! Of course, Netvibes is not the only one doing that, and in fact Google is doing it too with iGoogle... And before you ask, no this is not a paid review, but I've started with Netvibes and it's doing its job, as you can see on my screenshot, those are RSS feeds of different bloggers I follow in Internet Marketing, then I have created a tab for Fat Loss blogs, one for my friends, etc. You can also add more widgets to do several things, but I didn't go into that yet. Try it, I did it because I just started blogging this month and it's good to have an overview of everything that is going on in your part of the web. Here's a copy of the Netvibes FAQ if you want to switch from whatever you've been using to them:
