UKNM: sticky portals - yet again (neoplanet)

[Zaid hassan]

Re: the NeoPlanet discussion


Just to complicate things further, Neoplanet has a competitor: Taxi Interactive.


Has anyone used this? I'm not going to go into a prolonged (public) critique

as they are a client of ours.


However, some general comments:


The approach seems pretty successful. When I first came across the product

I didn't think there was much of a market for the product - and that it would

be aimed mainly at your newbie. Which in many cases it is. 


However the approach has a lot more flexibility than a "classic" web portal. And

as time passes and the deluge of useless websites continues the market

for products like this will only increase. Or not? 


Is there a saturation point with such products? Say once the online 

demographic levels off (ha!) what percentage will use website based

gatewaye/portals/jump points and what percentage will use neoplanet / taxi

style 

products?


Taxi's URL is http://www.mytaxi.com/ - I'd be interested in hearing what

people think. 


Even more interesting would be a features comparison w/NeoPlanet.


Later,


Zaid
