What's missing at HP?

Customized Portals - by example...

• This may be controversial, but it is the right answer (in my opinion).

• In other words, why re-invent the wheel??!!

• Demo Google's iGoogle, as a Customized Portal, in a Virtual Room.
• (optional) Demo Google Notebook
  • Tip: Download the Notebook browser extension to add notes to Notebook from any webpage.
