Doors to the future

Article Abstract:

Portals are sites on the World Wide Web, such as Yahoo!, Excite and America Online, that offer a combination of content and services. For some the term portal has negative connotations, suggesting the site is only a doorway to other sites. The Australian Bureau of Statistics reported in Nov, 1998, that 1.25 mil households had Internet access, a 50% increase over the previous 9 months.
