To ensure an ever better service, we’re gonna need to perform large database operations and do some maintenance work on our servers. It will allow us to improve the overall performance of your dashboard and address a few minor bugs.
This maintenance is scheduled for Friday 05/10 morning (6am CET) and the downtime should not exceed 3 hours.
Thanks for your understanding.
IF YOU’RE USING THE TWITTER APP ON YOUR NETVIBES BASIC DASHBOARD, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
Starting Monday, May 6, due to Twitter’s new API policy, you’ll need to have a Twitter account linked to Netvibes Basic to continue using Twitter apps and searches from your dashboard. Twitter will require user authentication and rate-limiting, which means not just Netvibes, but all 3rd party Twitter services, will be affected.
The good news is Netvibes will update all our social apps to work seamlessly with the new Twitter API. Next Monday, we are going to roll out a product upgrade.
In the meantime, old Twitter API keys have been revoked today in preparation for this update. This will result in all Twitter apps displaying an “unknown error” message, which means you’re going to have to re-install your current Twitter app (from the Add Content / Essentials menu) to make sure it works flawlessly with the new API. This will not affect any Social Search app you’re currently using, no data will be lost.
In summary: if you’re a Netvibes Basic user, re-install your Twitter app today to avoid any issues with the new API on Monday.
A lot of developers are using our UWA (Universal Web App API) to build simple web widgets. But did you know that the core of Netvibes.com–dashboards and apps–is now coded using UWA2, our latest version?
Since 2007, UWA has pioneered the concept of “write once, deploy everywhere” enabling developers to create simple universal web widgets that work on all browsers and desktops. Today, however, most people own and use multiple devices (laptop, smartphone, tablet), with different screen sizes and operating systems — and they expect robust, native app experiences across each device.
Enter the new UWA2. We’ve enhanced UWA2 internally to help our developers code the next generation of Netvibes.com to ensure that all our dashboards and apps work seamlessly across all devices and screensizes, and enable more robust app features (ie. touch, charting, analytics, security and much more). We also did it to save an enormous amount of time coding and updating different native apps across a growing number of devices and display sizes.
There are always new social tools showing up. But they are made by others. But what if you could design your own? Made exclusively by your agency.
For years Netvibes has powered custom social dashboards and analytics for top agencies and global brands. Today, at The Advertising Research Foundation re:think and Social Media World Forum conferences in NYC and London, we announced the launch of Netvibes for your Agency: official workshops and packages to help agencies quickly design their own proprietary social tools for valued clients.
Netvibes for your Agency will be featured on Netvibes.com for the next few weeks (as always, you can still Sign In or Try Netvibes Basic at the top). Agencies can sign up for free workshops on how to design, customize and resell their own social tools using Netvibes. Netvibes for your Agency also offers agencies an exclusive quick start package for teams of five, including training and development of your first dashboard.
