Definition: personal portal


A customized website that displays selected information chosen by the user. For example, as of 2025, the MSN portal offers a "Personalize" option, which displays only selected topics.

A personal portal is typically associated with a search engine; however, the My Yahoo! and iGoogle personal portals are no longer available.

The customized page displays selected information such as news, weather and stock quotes. If the portal publisher offers email or instant messaging (IM), links to those services are provided. See iGoogle, portal, gadget, widget and adaptive website.
