I’ve been using Netvibes non-stop since I discovered it. I was originally put down by how well it was built and the amount of features it supports (not to mention the extensibility via it’s API), though now I see it as more of a challenge - sort of like a quality baseline.

One idea would be to add Facebook compatibility to CHUI, this is one thing that Netvibes does not currently have.

I received a reply from them, saying that the API would be launching by November. It’s still not launched though, I’ll try contacting them again.
