Web Portals

I use msn.com as my web portal. A web portal is special website that contains a large amount of information and services. Other common web portals would be aol, igoogle, and yahoo. These web portals act as a starting point for people when they start their web browsers. MSN is known as a general interest portal other portals such as golf.com would be an example of a special interest portal. Special interest portals show information that would appeal to the specific interest of the viewer. According to about.com these web portals are well funded and staffed by full time employees. These portals also feature search engines, news, weather, shopping, online communities, and web email all in one place.
