It seems that every method of communication / entity over the internet is already created... What's going to be the next?
After web sites and web portals*, Search engines and met searches - web 2.0 came across making community based networks. Relatively old stuff, such as forums, seem to be less useful now, since Blogs, interactive News Boards came so fast and found their places on the NET. The Web is an incredibly huge cake, and you’d be smart to get at least a small chunk of that cake… Move the dark cellules of your brain... Think!
*A web portal is a site that provides a single function via a web page or site. Web portals often function as a point of access to information on the World Wide Web. Portals present information from diverse sources in a unified way. Aside from the search engine standard, web portals offer other services such as e-mail, news, stock prices, infotainment and various other features. Portals provide a way for enterprises to provide a consistent look and feel with access control and procedures for multiple applications, which otherwise would have been different entities altogether. An example of a web portal is Yahoo!.
Two broad categorizations of portals are Horizontal portals (e.g. Yahoo) and Vertical portals (or vortals, focused on one functional area, e.g. salesforce.com).
