Portlets: WTF?
What’s the big deal about Portlets? I tend to pass off “portal technology” as a holdover from the pre-doctom era where companies would try to give users everything on a single page, and have newsfeeds, stockquotes, etc. I could almost see the usefulness, especially with RSS being big now.
Maybe I’m wrong about Portlets, because I haven’t looked deeper. I just don’t understand the fascination with portals. Great, more abstract, complex junk. *throws in the pile with EJBs*.
