Highly anticipated Netvibes Wasabi exits private beta and introduces the Web’s first and fastest 2-in-1 Smart Reader, Push Notifications, and near real-time RSS technologies
Paris, France—December 9, 2009—Today at Le Web ‘09, Europe’s premier Internet conference, Netvibes (business.netvibes.com) announced the public release of Wasabi, Netvibes’ fifth generation personal dashboard publishing engine designed specifically to help people better manage all aspects of the real-time Web. Wasabi introduces a completely new way to manage the real-time Web, with an all-new Smart Reader that accelerates and delivers everything users enjoy on the Web—from widgets to Twitter, Facebook and RSS feeds—as a continually flowing, constantly updated, cascading stream of personalized information. Moreover, Netvibes Wasabi also gives people an easier and faster way to publish personalized dashboards and interactive websites for free, with new visual design tools and multiple page publishing features. Netvibes Wasabi is now available at: http://www.netvibes.com
“We’ve entered the real-time Web without the right tools to manage it all in one place. So we jump endlessly between our RSS reader, startpage widgets, Twitter dashboard, Facebook page, chat applications, desktop, phone and Web browser,” said Freddy Mini, CEO Netvibes. “Wasabi is the first to offer an easier and better way to view and manage the real-time Web. No clicking from link to link, no refreshing, no application switching. Just a free-flowing stream of everything that matters to you on the real-time Web.”
Ever since Netvibes Wasabi entered private beta testing last month, tens of thousands of requests by users, companies and publishers have been made in hope of getting early access. Starting today, Wasabi is now publicly available to everyone for free at: http://www.netvibes.com.
We are currently upgrading all users to the new version. The process will take a few days. If you can’t wait to get upgraded, you can get an instant upgrade by visiting http://wasabi.netvibes.com/:
