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?
