As someone who is shopping for, and consequently bewildered by, web portal software on the less than corporate enterprise level, I find this article inadequate in that it does not address this wide array of software that is out there, nor is there a link or disambiguation to these other forms (soopportal.org, web wiz forums, maxwebportal extreme, etc) of web portal. I would glady do an article myself, but clearly I'm not ready. I, and I suspect others, need someone more knowledgeable to at least start the ball rolling here. Please? Thanx. :-)] 18:54, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Think of "portal" as a BS marketing term that doesn't really mean much of anything. Does that help?

This is a well writen article but it is Java centric. What a web portal is should not be defined by the implementation of a portal in Java. I love Java but mentions of it should be in a links section or an example section.

::If the no point-of-view policy is about unbiased articles, then your correction is not good. The article is biased towards only one technology, implying that a web portal can only be made from Java technologies. The article should be language neutral in defining what a portal is. I will take you up on your invitation and see if I can write something acceptable. I know it is not an easy thing. I will see about it over the weekend.--&nbsp;] 13:07, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

== Official statement from a student of Jakob Nielsen ==

* A 'portal' refers to a location on the World Wide Web while a 'Wikiportal' should refer to 'Wikiportals' here on Misplaced Pages. The 'portal' use confuses users. Let us clarify this as soon as possible. I suggest 'portal' designers begin their conversion to 'wikiportal' immediately. I should know. Like Al Gore, I built the Internet. Ha! Anyway, I have started the switch to Wikiportals with the new ] which you can find here ''Sincerely, ] 22:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)''

==Vortal?==

'''Vortal''' redirects here. What is a vortal? The word doesn't occur here even though it redirects here. ] 17:11, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

:Vortal was, for a short time in the 90s, used to describe a "vertical portal". I don't know if any of those still exists, but the idea was to gather links to businesses in a certain field and maybe let them share information with each other. --] 13:44, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

== citation ==

There's only one citation (Bauer, H. H., M. Hammerschmidt, and T. Falk) -- should I presume that the citation was the source of this information?

"Some corporate analysts have predicted that corporate intranet Web portal spending will be one of the top five areas for growth in the Internet technologies sector during the first decade of the 21st century."

There's Web Portals -- generic term for a type of web application -- and there's Portal Servers, which is a type of enterprise software meant to help set up websites that are Web Portals. I am thinking these should be two different articles.
