September 14, 2006 |

Travel search engine Mobissimo and Netvibes, the wildly popular personal start page service, announced that the Mobissimo Travel Search Module is now available to all Netvibes users. Mobissimo is the first travel search engine accessible on Netvibes.

The Mobissimo Netvibes Module allows travellers to search hundreds of different global travel suppliers directly on their Netvibes personal start page, providing instant access to the world’s largest source of air, hotel, car and travel deals. Mobissimo will soon give Netvibes users the ability to create personal real-time fare indices of historical and future prices for travel to their favorite destinations. Users will be able to create a standard FareIndex such as Paris to U.S.A., and San Francisco to Skiing, or select up to 20 different city combinations to create their own customized FareIndex. Each time users visit Netvibes their personal FareIndex will be automatically updated with real-time dynamic pricing information.

Netvibes is a free service that offers Internet users a better way to organize news, information and Web-based services. Netvibes users build their own personalized start page by assembling their favorite sites, data feeds, blogs and email accounts onto a single web page, creating a dashboard for the consumer’s digital life. In less than a year Netvibes has become one of the most popular Web 2.0 consumer services, attracting over five million active users across 100 countries.

“Netvibes and Mobissimo audiences are very complementary. Our global users are looking for an easy way to find information quickly,” commented Beatrice Tarka, Mobissimo’s CEO. “With Mobissimo, Netvibes travellers from around the world can search all their favorite travel sites, compare fares and book travel using one search engine.”

“We help users cut through the Internet’s bureaucracy by connecting them to exactly what they need,” said Tariq Krim, founder of Netvibes.

From today, the Mobissimo Netvibes Module is accessible directly from the Netvibes ecosystem for all people looking for travel information. A link to Netvibes is also available on all Mobissimo’s global Web sites, and users can add the Mobissimo module to their Netvibes page in a matter of seconds.
