My favorite newsreader, Netvibes, which I use religiously, is adding some nifty new features. And pay attention, because Netvibes is leading the way on redefining how people consume aggregated news online. First, it will allow you to create a personalized content stream of RSS headlines from a variety of sources. So it’s all integrated instead of divided up into individual content boxes (which will still be available.) “Browsing RSS is kind of boring right now,” says Tariq Krim, CEO and founder of Netvibes. “It should be sexy.” Second, you’ll be able to set up custom searches on sites like Craigslist, so you’ll be alerted as new content is available. And third, a new sharing feature will let you distribute content to your friends via email or IM. Very slick.
