Feedback Loop 2.0

You have got to love the twisted little feedback loop that is the Web these days. Last week, I whined like a child that Netvibes' front-end was a bit too cramped. Yesterday, I posted about a neat little tool called Stylish that allowed you to hack at any sites CSS with Firefox.

This morning, I open up Firefox to find that the Netvibes team actually made the changes. It's an oh-so-subtle change, but man it makes a difference. Very cool.

Imagine watching a TV show and phoning into the network and telling them they need to shift their camera angles; or emailing your favorite magazine to tell them that their article layout in their print edition needs to change. Only on the web.

It looks like they removed the change. But you can still see it on preview.netvibes.com.

I don't see the extra spacing here.
