PLN first post

I have looked at and created two PLNs one using Netvibes and the other using Symbaloo. I have looked around on both sites to see which site best fits my personality and needs.
Symbaloo was a little hard for me to understand. I could not figure out how to add other widgets to my dashboard. Since this is what I understand the purpose of a PLN to be I did not find it very helpful. I found it to be generic and something I would not view often.
Netvibes on the other hand was very easy to navigate and figure out. Within minutes I was adding things to my page and added an education tab. Within my education tab I found it easy to add widgets that gave a feed to my blog and the class blog. I also started searching for widgets about education and teaching. I found some really helpful ones and added them to the tab with ease. I also found a widget for Delicious so now I can see my bookmarks in my PLN. One of my favorite widgets I have found so far has been a widget where you can add a website to your PLN even if it does not have a widget created. On my general tab in my PLN I have added my Facebook and Twitter accounts so that I can keep up with things in my social network as well. Unlike Symbaloo Netvibes does not take me to another page to view my timelines. After a while I looked at the time and an hour had past and I was still learning new things about my PLN on Netvibes.

Needless to say, I deleted my Symbaloo account and bookmarked my Netvibes account. I look forward to learning about more things I can add to my PLN in the future.
