The document discusses information aggregation services like Netvibes that collect and centralize relevant content from multiple online sources. Netvibes allows users to create customized home pages called dashboards by adding widgets that display live data like headlines, emails, social networks, and RSS feeds. This provides convenience by saving users time spent visiting individual sites and gives updates automatically. The document outlines the steps to get started with Netvibes, including signing up for an account, customizing a dashboard by adding and organizing widgets, and managing multiple dashboards and tabs.
