| A company clueless what users want? I don't beleive that.. Never ceases to amaze me big companies can't get the simplest things right. I never found anyone that liked portals.
I don't think the future is anything but feeds to the desktop of what the user wants, I already find myself just looking at RSS feeds than actually going to webpages anymore that I used to go to every day.
With Windows Vista soon to dominate the desktop, people will use the widgets to just get what they want to desktop without visiting pages. That eliminates millions of sites itself (loss of traffic/add revenue is going to hurt lots).
Sure people will visit websites, but the idea of "web surfing" is slowly eroding to just stream lining what people want and remove the fluff. This of course is all IMO. |

Vista won't dominate my desktop soon and I won't touch widgtes crowding up my desktop. I don't know anyone (even IT professionals) who use RSS feeds exclusively or want to experiment with Vista soom. |

Its not a matter of YOU buying it, its the millions of PCs that will be sold with it already on it. Not to mention the millions that upgrade to it. Nothing wrong with vista anyways.
Besides its not like that, widgets are actually useful for the average user. Being on by default and how easy they made them I see people using them. |

| What's an RSS feed?
What's a blog?
My definition of RSS is KRAP.
My definition of blog is bitch log.
Lastly, a portal is a window (hole) on the hull of a ship. Which is useless.  |

I can see people wanting to turn them off or get rid of them real quick. I think a LOT of folks are going to see them and get real confused.
