Personal Portal is a concept that follows, because "portal" has been widely accepted by everyone. Personal portal is just inheriting the concept of portal, but it is no longer like a large portal website as a "universal" platform, but a platform that is controlled by the user.
Personal portal is not just a gathering node of personalized information, it is a gathering node for various resources such as your social relationship, daily activities. You can decide which is private, which can be shared with others or decide the scope and depth of sharing. Personal portals may not even be a website, at least not an ordinary website. These are not satisfied with the traditional portal. Playing an inappropriate approach, in the big gatehouse, everyone lived in the same collective dormitory, to the individual portal era, everyone needs their own homes.
I have a question:
I really want to know that the personalized service is to optimize yourself to get information? Information transmission? Information processing? Information application? Pursuing personality is indeed part of human nature, but rational meaning? I started my personalized service on the one hand to meet my human needs, but on the other hand, if this relative personalized pursuit increases the cost of using information, is this contradiction with rationality? The humanity also includes inert, blind, greed. The convenience of the unified centralized service is very good. What is it for personalization? Meet your own information hungry? Optimize your own learning? Optimize your work? Enrich your own entertainment? The information on the Internet is unlimited, how to find a balance between the greed and rational applications of the information? I think, even if the individualized service provider is endless, each of us still has a choice cost. Before the excessive information, it hinders you normal life, learning, and work, I suggest that you can clear your use of information on information value, more rationally understand the value of information, whether passive accepting portal information or active to build personal information center, practical The mismatis is still advocated, after all, the information is unlimited, the time is limited. Most of us have fun like Keso, enjoy the fun of pursuing personalization services online.
In other words, what is the premise of the existence of a personal portal? For example, you may now go to Sina to see the news, go to the eBay to track the bid of a product, go to the Excellence Network to see the price of a DVD or a certain order, to Chinahr to check the job information, to Google go to search, to 365key to read the subscription of the subscribed network, go to the burner to watch the Keso's network, to Yahoo Finance to find the stock change, go to uuzone to check the mobile phone number just changed, then Also open Outlook to check the schedule of a meeting, pay the phone bill with China Merchants Bank's personal online banking service ... Do you think access to these websites more time, or effectively organize these resources, and save it more than personal preferences. time?
One of the purposes of personalization is to save each person's time and other costs, allowing information and other resources to organize and obtain, more personal and automated. The driving force of the individual portal is not from others, but the user's own needs. At this point, I agree that Owen's views, relative to the current centralized service, future personal portals, may be decentralized, or decentralized. Perhaps this can also be understood as an internet democracy.
However, I don't think that these portals will now be in the individual portal age. The nature of those listed companies is profitable, and there are almost no real creative buildings, but they are still the most influential enterprises in China's Internet, and they are also very easy to achieve advantages in funds and talents. Their problem is that the money earned too smooth after the profit, so that they have no sense of crisis. Now, the crisis is coming, they may have to pay attention to the development of the next step of the company, have to start considering the user's personalized demand, Sina's IASK, VIVI, and the Blog service will be launched, the search engine is being developed, Both are examples. Going to the centering trend will weaken the dominance of the big portals, but this still takes a considerable period of time. In this process, the large-door households have to meet the more and more strong personalized needs of users, and at the same time, they are also cultivating the user's own independent awareness. In fact, the same thing also happens on Google, an increasingly powerful, becoming google, which is increasingly independent, more and more, more and more popular, and formed a wonderful Dialect.
Therefore, the centering is not completely uncoated, but a balance is achieved between collecting and decentralization. Any statement of absolute absoluteness will eventually prove to be wrong. If the TV will kill the broadcast, Blog will kill the newspaper, which is actually said. http://www.donews.net/keeso/archive/2005/02/15/276988.aspx
