Netvibes has been my favourite home page for a while now, and they keep rolling out great, new features. The latest is integration with box.net’s online storage service. You can sign up in one step from the Netvibes desktop and you get 1GB storage for free.

I haven’t bothered with the whole “online storage” fad before, but now I can see a real use for the service. This is cool in so many ways – I’ll always have my files available from my Netvibes desktop no matter where I am, and I don’t have to sign into another site to access them.

Well done Netvibes on this great new feature!

UPDATE! And well done for securing seed financing (as reported on the TechCrunch site) – hopefully this will help you to keep rolling out the new features regularly.

PROBLEM SOLVED!! I had a problem with this module on my Netvibes desktop – the module would just sit there with a “Loading” message. A suggestion was made by Jekyll in the comments section of the Netvibes blog that the module doesn’t work if you have special characters in your password. I changed my password on the box.net site and now the module works perfectly.
