Let's take a look at my Internet-related life: I have two or three frequently-used web mailboxes and I have configured them in outlook. I have several websites that I often visit, I put them in my ie favorites; my friends are in QQ and MSN; my subscribed blog is in the news reader; every morning, I want to start all the tools; or: Is there a uniform desktop tool? What should I do when the machine is not around?
Taking a look at the current portal website, it is a challenge for your eyes and patience to pick out what you are interested in from the massive amount of information. myyahoo is an early personalized personal portal, but its functions are still limited, still unable to integrate the Internet requirements mentioned above
Let's first look at what is most easily integrated; without a doubt, blog and email! Why? Because they have standards, RSS, POP3, and so on; no matter who their providers are and how many providers there are, they can be accessed in the same way and integrated into the same personal portal; therefore, if a large number of Instant Messaging Tools and news sources can follow the same standards, integration will become relatively easy. Otherwise, to create a personal portal, you must sign agreements with different content providers, separate Interfaces
Content standardization not only greatly improves the search speed and accuracy, but also helps to build a personal portal. At that time, you can log on to all the networks without relying on your own machines.
