ReadWriteWeb has written today about the possible 'extinction' of Netvibes.

Users have had trouble adding feeds and sharing tabs with other users, and the company was unable to reproduce those problems.

Netvibes CEO Freddy Mini said last month that the company's service provider has had repeated problems supporting users on the West Coast of the US, but ReadWriteWeb has been testing it from all over the US and they still saw the same problems.

Is this really the end of Netvibes?!
