Beyond RSS feeds, AppVoyage mobilizes backend data like work order from a service management application or top 10 leads from a CRM application.

Personalization is as easy as browsing from desktop, during the learning phase proxy records usage and preferences to mobilize the right type of information in right format.

Actually, tappity just released a point update that allows feeds if you add them as 'links'.

By next month they'll have widgets that make reading RSS feeds even easier and more elegant than Netvibes2Go

You may also want to give Tappity.com a try. It doesnâ€™t have the feeds and calendaring that Netvibes does (yet), but itâ€™s got a ton of everyday links and searches that youâ€™d want to access from your phone (movie times, price comparison, Wikipedia, etc.) Plus, anyone can submit mobile sites, so the list of whatâ€™s available keeps on growing.

Netvibes going mobile is great but I would rather select which of my current modules I want to be mobile, rather than duplicating my everyday feeds/lists/notes etc on a separate tab.

"apparently, some people want this" -- ha! :)

Speaking for Wesabe, we don't disclose anyone's income, bad habits, Ben & Jerry's binges, or anything of the sort. The community parts of our site help members share tips and advice for getting the most from your money and reaching your goals.

We do display *aggregate* data about merchants -- for instance, when our members try a new restaurant, do they never go back (probably not so good) or do they go back every week (probably worth trying)? How do local auto shops compare in price? and so on. But none of those features single out any individual user.

And yes, apparently some people do want it -- we're tracking over $300 million (U.S.) for our users.

Thanks for the link.
