Interesting Portals 

NetVibes
This portal feels similar to PageFlakes in many ways but I love their gallery. They also have a feature whre certain chrome elements only become visible when you hover over the web part.

Xtra
A New Zealand news portal. I especially liked the content rotator web part at the top of the middle row. Seems like a nice way to allow a user to browse through data.

The fastest elevator in the universe

Categories

I've been a bit slow out of the blocks in blogging about the MVP Summit which takes place this week but Mitch and I arrived in Seattle yesterday.  Mitch has written about our journey and the associated delays here.  We did have delays but thankfully, we didn't miss our luggage as Frank did when he came here last week!

Mitch and I are staying at the Hilton hotel. 

The highlight for me so far has been the hotel elevator.  Here they must be using wormhole technology because even though I'm staying on the 15th floor I can get from the lobby to my floor in an instant... truly!  Seriously, I get in at the lobby, press '15', and woooooosh... I'm there.  There's not even the typical feel of inertia that you would get from such a fast ride. 

Tomorrow I think that I will take it for a spin to another galaxy.

So do you push the 'close' button before pressing the '15' button? I bet it would be even faster.
