Make the Web your own with personalised pages or pick a site that does your thinking for you, suggests Daniel Fallon. Look no further - the answer is super site. Called portals, they allow you to tailor the Web to suit your needs and hand it to you on one page every time you start. And they're free.
Portals come in many flavours.
There are also city portals such as CitySearch and Sidewalk that help you find out what's going on in Sydney with event guides, public transport timetables and movie and restaurant listings. You can even read your daily horoscope at many of them. These top portals act as Web traffic hubs directing the flow of surfers. They're competing hard for users, gaining advertising revenue and a cut of the profit on sales from traffic they direct to e-commerce sites. The director of content and marketing for ninemsn, Kim Anderson, is clear on what powers portals.
