I have been browsing on internet for the last 10 years. During this period i came through tons of information in the shape of text, videos, audios and pictures. I love to read listen view and comment but always choosy. My choice to do above actions is limited to only professional websites which have neat and decent look along with features, i dont care about the age of website and even geographical location.

Developing a web community portal is really a big task. The developers or deigners of the portal have lot of aspects to cover under one umbrella. The audience of the website is borderless and have variety of issues to be take into account. (e.g) Some peoples love to read horoscope daily and expect the horospoe information on their desktop timely, it means while developing a portal the horoscope category should be develop and later on there must be daily updating by a professional astrologist. The same goes with sports weather etc.

Now a days there are alot of social community websites which share the peoples thought through rss blogs or forums but very little are successful in gaining the stickness of the viewer because the audience has right to judge and compare before becomes a member or regular user of the website community. Peoples love to visit those websites which really show the topics of their interest in a manner what they expect.

A feature-rich community portal with multiple ways to inform community members about what is happening in the community (e.g. community calendar, discussion forums, RSS feeds, blogs, automated reminders, etc.) has the potential to increase civic participation. Formal and information studies in Blacksburg, Virginia and in other communities with active community portals indicate that when residents have the right information at the right time, they tend to get more involved in the life of the community. In other words, they are more inclined to get out of the house and attend community meetings and to take part in community and civic activities.
