Add RSS to Netvibes directly

I have been using Netvibes, an online RSS Feed service, for a long time and did not switch to Google Reader like so many of my friends and colleagues. The one thing that I did not like that much was that the process of adding new RSS Feeds was cumbersome. I had to copy the feeds url, open the Netvibes website, click on Add Content, click on Add a feed and paste the url of the feed in there.

To many clicks and moves if you consider that desktop RSS readers or several other feed readers add feeds that are clicked automatically. The Firefox add-on Add2Netvibes steps in and makes it possible to add feeds to your Netvibes account directly from the page that you are visiting.

It adds a green plus icon to your toolbar. If that is not done automatically you will have to right-click free space on a toolbar, select customize from the menu and drag and drop the green icon to one of your toolbars.

Feeds are automatically recognized and you can add them with the click of the button.
