The New York Times is trying out a Netvibes / iGoogle style service on its website, my.Times. You can build your own NYT page the way you like it or bring in the Washington Post to beef up the coverage of politics, or the BBC if it takes your fancy.

David Weinberger says it:

…lets you see suggested feeds from various NY Times celebrities. You can add widgets like a Flickr photo browser. You can lay out the page you want. You can add tabs to organize your many feeds. You can even add your own feeds. Plus there’s a meta-tab that will take you to Times Topics, taking them from their undeserved obscurity.

I know you can already get all this from a ton of other places, but I kind of like the idea. I don’t get all my news from feeds, I do like to browse the Guardian, Telegraph, Times and FT.

I could go for building a hybrid of all four – the Guardian’s not so hot on business, so a bit of Times and Telegraph goodness there, when it comes to the financial markets shake up I could do with some FT and Economist pep there…
