Portaler
What is a web portal?.
A web portal is a website that aggregates content from other websites and provides a unified interface for users to interact with that content. Portals typically provide a search engine, directory of websites, and news and information about specific topics.
Most popular web portals offer a wide range of services, including email, weather, finance, and social networking. Some portals are specific to a country or region, such as the BBC's UK portal, while others are global in reach, such as Yahoo! or MSN.
Web portals first emerged in the late 1990s as a way for companies to aggregate content from their own websites and provide a single point of access for their users. Early portals like Yahoo! and MSN were the first to provide a search engine, directory of websites, and news and information about specific topics.
As the internet grew, so did the number of web portals. Today, there are thousands of different web portals, each catering to a specific audience or niche.
The popularity of web portals has declined in recent years as the internet has become more social. Today, users are more likely to go directly to social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter to find the content they're looking for. However, web portals are still popular among older users and those who are not familiar with social networking sites.
