Netvibes Founder Says Mainstream Adoption Up, Still No Biz Model
CNET has an interview with Tariq Krim, founder of personal "homepage" software firm, Netvibes, at Supernova a Silicon Valley confab.
Points he makes: Netvibes interface is to Web 2.0 what the MAC graphical user interface was to computing (ie. it opened up the computer to a whole new user group: graphic artists and designers). And so it is that Netvibes opens up RSS, blogs, and other Web 2.0 apps to mainstream Internet users - not just geeks anymore.
Netvibes has 4M users now, half are in the US, and the rest are distributed globally. He's still looking for a business model. Update: He actually said that he's still looking for the "killer" business model.
