What the hell *is* a portal (besides a internet
buzzword from about 1997)
Is this type of question designed to make me sound as
if I had absolutely no idea what I am talking about,
or not worth listening because not using the best
word, or designed to slow down any thinking process by
drawing out a *detail*, or what ??
If such is your concern, explain *yourself* what *you*
think is a portal, or better, explain what should be
www.wikipedia.org page to your opinion.
Anthere, I took the question to be sincere, though not especially diplomatic. :-) I also
don't know what a portal is--I *think* I do, but I'm usually only partly right
when I *think* I know something, and so I'm usually mostly wrong.
Yahoo is a portal, right? ... Or no?
