Netvibes did introduce some more layout options last month, which seem interesting, though iGoogle's recently added resize-option is still the king in that as far as I'm concerned. Protopage looks a little geeky for my taste, but if it's reliable, that's all that counts. Yeah, I should’ve mentioned LinkedIN, though I don’t use it as much as I would like.

LinkedIn is my social networking site of choice, but it would be a LOT better is Discussions would live up to its promise (more here: http://www.lohad.com/?p=2115) PrimoPDF and the FireShot plugin for Firefox are terrific.

I have been on facebook for about 18 months but I've only been using it on a regular basis for the last 3 months since about everybody I know is now facebooked. I guess it's probably the reason why it turns out to become uncool for A-list bloggers such as HughMcLeod but that's another issue. I like linkedin for professional network, myspace for music networking (though it seems that many myspace bands are now migrating to faceboook - <a href="http://www.tinyurl.com/supernormal" rel="nofollow">supernormal</a> included). I just never get used to twitter or friendfeed, both being too hectic for me. Hey Vince, thanks for that.

I'd add to my personal favourites Jaiku (still cannot get myself to Twitter) and a brand new discovery Spotify that allows scrobbling to Last FM. Just brilliant but a limited beta (?) for the moment. And facebook has surprisingly become my favourite venue of microblogging : I do it in Finnish French and English whereas I only jaiku in Finnish. Focusing my target population... Happy New Year with tons of snow in Paris ! =) * * * Google translation is fun ; works for isolated words but also web pages – as long as you keep in mind it’s just a robot !
