Check Out Netvibes
After getting a few hits from Netvibes, I decided to check out this new(?) service. Netvibes is basically a web-based RSS feed aggregator, which provides a portal kind of interface. Although I haven’t used MyYahoo extensively, I have a feeling that Netvibes resembles MyYahoo in lot of ways. Unlike Bloglines and some other RSS feed aggregators, Netvibes doesn’t provide previews of the feeds. Hence, one might need to visit the blog / site to read the entire post. This might be a turn-off for heavy readers. Om Malik sums up some of the buzz around Netvibes.
Bloglines has introduced several enhancements in the last few months. I don’t think I’m going to move to any other aggregator right now.

No..netvibes provides a wonderful preview of the the feeds...( but one blog at a time ) in a embedded window.

@Dreamchaser,
Yeah it was down earlier...seems to be working fine now.
@Phoenix,
I have replied to your email.
@Krish,
How do I enable the preview....any pointers?

The only caveat that I see in Bloglines is that there are no ways of reading/updating comments form the embedded preview. This is important for me since the comments are as important as the post itself.
