I haven’t found anything but if you’re going by the old statement for wunderlist (it’s one of the first things when you Google how it makes money) the official statement used to be that it was a testing bed for wunderkit.
So far as clues, I don’t know how Netvibes does it but this 4 year ago is still one of the top google searches but Netvibe is still alive: http://readwrite.com/2009/03/10/is_netvibes_dying_an_update_to_our_coverage

I use Netvibes for much of my news reading. They now have a premium version, which costs €29.90 a year. Also, there are some business related services which generate revenue.
I didn’t use it for a long time because when I clicked on a story it gave me an abbreviated version, and I’d have to click again to go to the actual publication in which the story appeared. Recently Netvibes makes it an option to go straight to the actual publication with the first click. Now I use Netvibes a lot more.

There is an iPhone/iPod Touch version now, it is looking good. But I’m not so sure about the Windows app. They went a step too far in simplification for my taste. I prefer the sort options in v1. Except that now v. 1 stopped working properly, although both are installed.
Also, the Windows app installed without a desktop shortcut and in some totally crazy location (under AppData\Local\Apps etc.), I could barely find it, if it weren’t for Everything Search Engine…

That’s the location for temporary program data. It’s a route some ‘modern’ applications take; I’ve seen it at least with Chrome and Markdown Pad. It’s a PITA when you look around Program Files to review what applications you’ve got installed and you get this strange feeling something rather obvious is missing.

I see… Eventually I found a shortcut in the Start Menu, but it wasn’t under “W” for Wunderlist but under “6 Wunderkinder GMBH”, so I missed it initially.
