Subject: Design decisions about user interface
Okay, here goes. I love the look and feel of a portal, even ahead of a
dashboard. I am seriously wanting to use a portal solution. Thats my
bias, thats where I am starting from.
I mention this to people who know about stuff and who are a lot
brighter than me, and they just roll their eyes and pat me on the head.
When I ask why they feel that way about portals their answers are pretty
simple, usually along the line of "thats so old fashioned!"
Now, I don't question their stance, but I just don't see any new
replacement ideas that appeals to me half as much as portals.
Hence I am posting this to see what sorts of solutions others are using
for a new user interface. Perhaps along the way I will come to
understand why portals are so old fashioned and out of favor.
