Community Portals

Unlike most universities, high schools, or offices, the internet is filled with thousands of individuals who are looking to meet people, connect with family, share information about their ancestors and to explore the interests and activities of other members within their communities. Online community portals have formed an ideal platform for sharing interests and creating an environment of social communication and general awakening, among members of various communities.

Community software portals have several purposes such as informing the members about current activities, ecommerce, keeping in touch, discussion forums, advertisements etc, and in addition, they also serve as tools for others from outside the community, to learn more about the community.
