Beyond Method 2

Netvibes versus iGoogle
I have used iGoogle before and like it's clean lines but it can't be used on our 18 public computers.  Netvibes on the other hand seems to have everything and it shows in it's cluttered appearance.  iGoogle would work as a staff page but we would need Netvibes for the public computers.  I like the idea of everything on the opening page but it should be designed so that people are not confused by the clutter.  There are multiple tabs that can be used with Netvibes but I feel that is defeating the purpose of a single opening page.  Netvibes could be used as a sort of super webpage including the things that we know our patron access on their own.  Newspapers, Texas Workforce, games, news, and entertainment, library activities, and maybe a youtube video imported for a new book that we have just received are just a few of the things that could be included.
