Web 2.0 awards

I was looking at Web 2.0 awards. In an earlier post I mentioned the idea of a personal information portal "PIP". A personalised page that would include search and rss feeds. It seems there are already sites doing this such as Netvibes and Pageflakes. Suddenly my inspirational ideas for making Web 2.0 fortune vanish in a puff of smoke.

What I did like was also the idea of incorporating email, to do lists, video search, image search into the PIP as well. What it did not seem to offer was the ability to custom add rss feeds.

I think libraries in the future should definately offer some kind of service like this. It would promote the library as an online service as well as physical one.
