Subject field(s)
  • Telephone Services

CONT

Making calls to your friends and family through your normal telephone is becoming obsolete. It is now the norm for people to talk to their friends and family with instant messaging services such as Yahoo, AOL, and MSN. Another version of using your computer to communicate is using VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol) [, i. e. ] a class of hardware and software that allows people to use the Internet for making telephone calls. One of the many advantages of this type of service is no surcharge. The amount you pay for this service is included in your monthly Internet fees. AOL is coming out with a new "Total Talk VoIP" that is to replace AOL Internet Phone. The difference being that with AOL Internet Phone it was available exclusively for those who were members of AOL. With Total Talk VoIP, broadband users throughout American and Canada will enjoy the convenience offered by AOL.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Internet and Telematics
  • Electronic Commerce
DEF

A portal that targets a niche audience.

CONT

... general portals like Yahoo and Altavista could not keep up with the need for more in-depth content, local interests and the needs of various kinds of Web surfers, and hence the birth of specialised Websites offering focussed content(called "vertical portals" or "vortals") became inevitable.

CONT

Like the portal, the vertical portal directs Internet surfers to other sites or a search engine. However, it develops vertical subjects and focuses on a single theme.

French

Domaine(s)

  • Commerce électronique
CONT

Avant même que les portails généraux [sur] Internet aient atteint leur plein potentiel, voici qu'un nouveau phénomène commence à prendre une ampleur insoupçonnée : les portails verticaux par industrie. [...] un portail vertical a pour mission d'offrir à une industrie particulière un ensemble de services qui permettent à tous ses membres de progresser par rapport aux industries concurrentes ou étrangères. On y fournit des répertoires d'entreprises, des mécanismes d'échanges, l'affichage d'offres d'emploi, etc. [...] l'application maîtresse des portails verticaux est certainement l'achat et la vente de produits en ligne.

CONT

Tout comme le portail, le portail vertical offre un contenu qui oriente les internautes vers d'autres sites ou un moteur de recherche. Toutefois, il développe des sujets verticaux, se concentrant sur un thème unique.

PHR

Portail vertical classique, mondial.
