This is how the Cobb's Legion Web site is ran. With more than 300 pages and growing, the path one takes to experience Cobb's Legion on-line can be as individual and unique as one s time and interests allow. You hear it everywhere today. Well the truth is, yes, you could log into the vet hospital if you knew their address, the same with The Stonehurst Inn. And yes, its fun to have your own site, but the down side is that you're out there all alone.
Strength is in numbers.
As any firefighter will tell you, when you work as a team you win. Individuals might accomplish something, but not as much as a team will. While each of these organizations has good intentions, lacking any central clearinghouse to coordinate their activities, their impact is not as great as it could be if they could join forces. As a member of a portal however, a visitor to one part of the site is exposed to the presence of the whole group. The greater the exposure, the greater the chance people will visit any particular site.
