portal - A Web site or service that offers a broad array of resources and services, such as e-mail, forums, search engines, and on-line shopping malls. The first Web portals were online services, such as AOL, that provided access to the Web, but by now most of the traditional search engines have transformed themselves into Web portals to attract and keep a larger audience.
Portal offers a great amount of content and services, either on many subjects (a "horizontal portal," such as Yahoo! or About.com) or on a specific subject (a "vertical portal," or "vortal," such as women.com or WebMD).
