Link Module from Netvibes Changed : Thumbnail ON of OFF

On some of our Public Pages, like CMB and EduCMB we placed several Link Modules to show links to content on the website of our library. The Link Module then displays a Thumbnail from that page/site. A few day ago suddenly the thumbnails for links within the www.rug.nl domain were replaced with little indecent pictures, clearly not coming from this university portal. Quick contact with Netvibes , resulted in quick action: they decided to block thumbnails for www.rug.nl at once, and investigate. My question to them : is the rug-site hijacked or the Thumbshots.org-site? The outcome is still unsure, they now noticed trouble with Thumbshots and Google Groups as well. They DID act quickly again in adjusting the Link Module: you now can turn the Thumbnail ON or OFF!.

I am still looking for a good answer for the widgets tracking, because Netvibes is not offering tracking of individual widgets at this time, and I haven't heard any talk about it. So for this, we can only see the downloads from the eco.netvibes.com or widgetbox.com sites. (Google is offering -for their own gadgets- a manual for gadget tracking . Maybe some geek can/did try and mash this up to make it work for other widgets ...?) I DID find a way to keep track of the use of the Public pages! Create a Google Analytics account Add a website profile for the Netvibes Universe (i.e. http://www.netvibes.com/digicmb). This only works if you use the for the basic url. If you put the Google Analytics code (make sure you use t...

The EAHIL2008 Experience : it will last

The 11th Conference of the European Association of Health Information and Libraries was a big success. Over 450 people visited, the scientific programm was impressive. It was hard (almost impossible) to choose sessions that could be skipped, to explore the city and country more. For me it was an extremely intense, unforgettable conference, perfectly organised by our Finnish colleagues. Their openness and involvement was tremendous. Here are some links to get more info, if you can not wait for more posts. Because I will be writing a lot about the conference! Some really cool stuff has been shown and I want to share it. To get a almost overall view, have a look at the EAHIL2008 Netvibes Universe: http://www.netvibes.com/EAHIL2008 The networking at EAHIL2008 was also massive this year. More on that later, but to show you what is out there to make networking even available AFTER the Conference .... Here are the tools to do it: For EAHIl we now have the following "to...
