9. Blog “Portals are dead”

10. “ RSS is also the reason why the portals as we've come to know them are dead. With content providers syndicating their content via RSS, the huge expensive, complex, one-off integration has gone away. Now users can simply use their Ajax desktop of choice or blog reader to subscribe to feeds - bang - instant portal. “

13. Blog “Straight talk on portals II: Is the portal market dead?”

14. “ I don’t believe people will be throwing the word “portal” around much in 3-5 years from now. But the concepts will remain valid – dynamic assembly of websites, a screen real-estate metaphor that combines widgets in a role-based or personalized manner, and contextual selection of the small subset of information relevant to the user from a wide array of integrated information sources.”

17. Blog “Portal Software is Dead -- Really?”

18. “ The story line goes like this: Portal tools put heavy demand on infrastructure, are complex to implement, and can prove too inflexible for today's agile use cases. But is portal technology really dying, and should you still care about it? My answer: the challenges that a portal tool addresses (or claims to address) remain very important.”
