Netvibes Universe Goes LiveApril 17, 2007; 02:54 AM Starting today, users can enjoy content in over 100 Universes that have been created by Netvibes pilot content partners. Furthermore, Netvibes will soon announce the availability of tools to allow all Netvibes users to create their own Universes and use them as outlets to express, showcase and share their complete Web life with others. (For a list of currently available pilot Universes, refer to the attached announcement below.) Major media companies, including CBS, CNN Money, Forbes.com, LATimes.com, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, TIME, Inc., USAToday and washingtonpost.com, have partnered with Netvibes to launch their own Universes, allowing their readers to control how they view their favorite online content. “The washingtonpost.com Universe deepens our involvement in the Web community, making it easier for Netvibes users to get our content when and how they want it,” said Jim Brady, Executive Editor, washingtonpost.com. “We chose to get involved because the flexible personalization that Netvibes offers bridges our content with the wide variety of web services available online.” “We like how our readers can quickly and easily pick which sections they would like to read and decide how they would like to read them, either as a multimedia RSS feed or with the full Forbes.com Web page," said Jim Spanfeller, President & CEO of Forbes.com. Top recording artists, including 50 Cent, Ben Harper, Deftones, G-Unit, Mandy Moore, Moby, Pretty Ricky, and Snoop Dogg, are also launching Universes as a new way to connect with fans and share with them their blogs, music, MySpace friends, photos, videos and more. “This is a great, innovative concept that affords me the opportunity to connect with fans, no matter where in the world I may be,” said Mandy Moore. “These Universes embody a sense of community, and what better way to share my new music and a glimpse into my life than through this fun and interactive medium.” Online services, including eMusic, Newsvine, PopSugar, TechCrunch and Wikio, as well as non-profit institutions, including Harvard University and the UK National Archive, will also release their own Universes. “Imagine building your own rich media portal that anyone can visit, like your own personal Yahoo or MySpace. Imagine going beyond the blog, and unifying your digital life in one single place with podcasts, videos, feeds, games, pictures—but unlike a blog, you don’t have to post to it everyday; content gets updated automatically. Imagine launching your own media company in just minutes,” said Tariq Krim, Netvibes Founder and CEO. “It’s all possible on Netvibes Universe, which lets anyone create their own attention network.” Over 100 Universes are now available on the Netvibes Universe at: http://eco.netvibes.com Official Netvibes Universe Pilot Partners Celebrities & Recording Artists 50 Cent Anthrax Army of Anyone B5 Ben Harper Black Market Hero Bloodsimple Bobby Valentino Chris Cornell Consequence Deftones DJ Whoo Kid Enrique Iglesias Flyleaf Frankie J G-Unit HELLYEAH Hot Rod Ice Cube Korn Lil Jon Lloyd Banks Lumidee Mandy Moore Mash Out Posse Metal Sanaz Mistress Juliya Mobb Deep Moby Mudvayne New Years Day Neyo Olivia Otep Paolo Nutini Pete Yorn Pit Bull Pretty Ricky Shadows Fall Snoop Dogg sosohuman Spider Loc The Cinematics Three 6 Mafia Tony Yayo Trey Songz Tyrone Well Ying Yang Twins Young Buck Yung Berg Media Outlets 20Minutes CBS News CBS SportsLine CNN Money Cooking Light CSTV Elle (France) Entertainment Weekly Forbes.com InStyle Jacksonville.com LATimes.com Le Figaro Le Quipe Les Echos Newsweek People Real Simple ShowBuzz Slate Sports Illustrated TIME TSR USA Today washingtonpost.com Non-Profit Institutions Harvard UK National Archive Social Innovation Conversations (Stanford Center for Social Innovation) Web Services Catster Dogster eMusic GenerationMP3 HiPiHi Hoodong Maya's Mom Newsvine Snap Mashable TechCrunch TheStreet.com Wikio PopSugar Celebrities: Angelina Jolie Ben Affleck Beyonce Knowles Brad Pitt Britney Spears Cameron Diaz Christina Aguilera David Beckham Drew Barrymore George Clooney Jake Gyllenhaal Jennifer Aniston Jennifer Garner Jennifer Lopez Jessica Alba Jessica Simpson Johnny Depp Justin Timberlake Katie Holmes Leonardo DiCaprio Lindsay Lohan Madonna Matt Damon Matthew McConaughey Orlando Bloom Paris Hilton Reese Witherspoon Scarlet Johansson Tom Cruise Will Smith About Netvibes Netvibes pioneered the personalized startpage, an alternative to traditional Web portals.
