Search or Portal - Your Home page is important


Back in 1998, my partner in the US, Joe mentioned we should be getting in the portal business, I asked him what will be so hot in it, and why do it, everyone I knew eventually was building a portal by 1999-2000, and then wham bam, the Dot com bust came about, we had one too many portals, and things were settling in Again. The change led to companies like MSN (Hotmail) / Yahoo / Altavista, etc and other search engine companies to become larger portals. Today if you look at msn or yahoo there are a lot of changes happening, a recent change is the customisation that yahoo offers. I am purely a Google player and I would rather still play around with the KISS principle, so these all portal pages are not for me, but if you like a page, you can customise, to show you your news, your basic search some other stuff, head on to yahoo or better still click here and get a look at the new .. yahoo.. yes.. it's changed.. i like it.. but google .. that's my cup of tea.. for you.. maybe you can give this a shot.
