I have a Google Personal Home Page, but like so many things I experiment with I have not paid much attention to the site in some time. Google offers modules that you can add to your personal page to satisfy personal interests. The idea is that one might create a personal portal &#8211; a collection of resources that fit how one uses the web &#8211; and then set this as the &#8220;home page&#8221; within your browser of choice. Modules are added and positioned according to personal taste. When you launch your browser, you encounter the information sources and tools that suit your needs.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Google Portal\" src=\"http:\/\/studytools.psych.und.nodak.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/googleportal.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>My existing portal is provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.netvibes.com\/\">NetVibes<\/a>. I now find myself facing a dilemma &#8211; each of my portals has unique capabilities. Maintaining two personal portals defeats the purpose of a portal. What is the point of having two &#8220;to-do&#8221; lists? Which one do you update? Decisions, decisions!!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"netVibe Portal\" src=\"http:\/\/studytools.psych.und.nodak.edu\/wordpress\/wp-content\/netvibeportal.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"pvc_stats_868\" class=\"pvc_stats all  \" data-element-id=\"868\" style=\"\"><i class=\"pvc-stats-icon medium\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"far\" data-icon=\"chart-bar\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-chart-bar fa-w-16 fa-2x\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M396.8 352h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V108.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v230.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm-192 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V140.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v198.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zm96 0h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8V204.8c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v134.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8zM496 400H48V80c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16H16C7.16 64 0 71.16 0 80v336c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h464c8.84 0 16-7.16 16-16v-16c0-8.84-7.16-16-16-16zm-387.2-48h22.4c6.4 0 12.8-6.4 12.8-12.8v-70.4c0-6.4-6.4-12.8-12.8-12.8h-22.4c-6.4 0-12.8 6.4-12.8 12.8v70.4c0 6.4 6.4 12.8 12.8 12.8z\" class=\"\"><\/path><\/svg><\/i> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading\" src=\"https:\/\/learningaloud.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/page-views-count\/ajax-loader-2x.gif\" border=0 \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"pvc_clear\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A TechTalk post entitled &#8220;Turning Google Into A Portal&#8221; caught my attention.
