Where are some example portals from other industries?
Portals are being used quite successfully in industry. This includes vertical market portals (for example, a portal that helps to link product suppliers with product retail outlets) as well as generic entry-level portals (such as My Netscape or My Yahoo). A few examples are listed below which demonstrate quite nicely what a portal can look like. However, remember these portals don’t include features specific to a University environment which makes a My University Portal so useful. • My Netscape: http://my.netscape.com/ • My Yahoo: http://my.yahoo.com/ • Excite: http://www.excite.com/ • My AOL: http://my.aol.com/ • My Way: http://www.myway.
