Web experts invented a new word in 1999: vortal. A contraction of "vertical portal," vortal refers to a Web site that aggregates disparate content and services of interest to a particular industry and makes it available to industry members. Hundreds of vortals have appeared, serving many market-based communities, from electronic components to city management to construction to applied science to healthcare. A few vortals serve communities that are based on common noncommercial interests; travel sites like travelocity.com, real estate marketplace sites like realtor.com, hobbyists sites like garden.com, and WebMD.com fall into this category. webtechniques.com
