TYPES OF PORTALS

•There are different types of web portals, but they each do the same thing: Expose new sites to users based on what the user wants.

•Portals:-▫Search Engines▫Hub Sites▫Web Directories▫Webrings and Blog Networks▫Social Networks

Search Engines

•Search engines act as one of the most popular types of web portals.

•An Internet user has to search for a certain topic, issue or problem, and potentially millions of pages show up as a result of the search query.

•The user then clicks on the link found, and a new site is discovered.

•New sites can show up every day.

Hub Sites

•Several websites on the Internet act as hubs online.

•Sites such as Live, Yahoo and Google offer everything from search engines to email accounts to news information.

•Because these hub sites regulate so much information, users can then find a new website, visit the site and determine if the website is good match for their needs.

Example…..

Web Directories

•Unlike search engines and hub sites, a web directory is a database of sites that pertain to a certain topic, such as types of products, a theory or a subject in school.

•Methods on how a website can get into the directory vary from directory to directory, but typically, either a user recommends a particular site for the directory, or the website itself applies to the directory and awaits approval or rejection.

Example…..

Webrings and Blog Networks

• In the earlier days of networks, websites would link together and form webrings or a group of sites that banded together.

• This is similar to the way a directory works, but a webring is more decentralized and power lies in the group of sites, rather then an overseer of the directory.

• Webrings usually have a moderator who decides which pages to include in the web ring. After approval, webmasters add their pages to the ring by 'linking in' to the ring.

Social Networks

•Example such as Myspace and Facebook.•Both websites allow users to share certain

articles, websites videos and photos with their friends.

•They have made these and other social networks into web portals of their own, providing access to websites that other friends approve of or are interested in.
