I missed out as well.

This looks like how I use netvibes. But I’m using RSS widets and lots of iframes, saves me TONS of time.I can’t wait to try this.

Shame iGoogle blows when it comes to iframes.

our lifeIO vision is to become the “swiss army knife” of web apps. no browser addons or downloads necessary. operable across all major browsers and connected to all major web services via api’s/rss etc. it’s ambitious, i know, especially in a world of ad hoc apps cobbled together by passionate users. but it’s fun to take on that challenge. thx for your feedback and keep it coming!
cheers,
bruce

hi carlos,
we’re working on sync right now. we’re waiting to hear feedback from first lifeIO users about exactly what kind of sync they need.
as for feeds import lifeIO HAS THAT NOW. just go to google reader “settings” Import/Export then “Export your subscriptions as an OPML file” then go to lifeIO, the setup tab in the top menu bar and click on “Import” scroll down to Import RSS Subscriptions and if you’ve exported an OPML file from google reader just find the file and import it into lifeIO.

Firstly, thank you for the invitation codes and the opportunity to try out this new web app.

I love the concept, it’s certainly innovative, but I guess I’m too entrenched in Google to appreciate it properly.

I use Google’s email, calendar, feeds, docs, pretty much everything really, and I find that using the Flock browser integrates all my Google stuff nicely with other things I use frequently, being Flickr, Facebook and Twitter.

I can read/update Twitter from within Gmail now, and using the “GButts” Flock/Firefox browser addon, I only have to click once to open my Gmail, reader, calendar, docs etc. Flickr and Facebook integrate very tightly with the Flock browser too, so for me there seems no advantage in using LifeIO.

However, I do admire what they’re trying to do and will keep an eye on it!

Great idea. For me, the being able to sync Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, Notes, and Feeds across accounts is essential.

Also, I have my feed list on Google Reader, being able to import that automatically or at least being able to import from an xml file would be great.

lifeIO is working toward the ability for it’s users to “plug in” any of your favorite “a la carte” apps, notifications & updates.the goal of lifeIO is to be optimally “user centric” and enable lifeIO users to create their own “bundles”
