Simplortal
From Arnout Engelen
I wrote a simple portal in PHP, based on the philosophy that portal users should be entirely free in what to put on their personal portal page.
[edit] Project abandoned
When simplortal started, such portal software did not appear to be freely available. Today, I think there are better alternatives available.
[edit] Alternatives
iGoogle offers a similar service
If you want to install a portal yourself, there is a Drupal module that is usable to create a Simplortal-like site - I took a brief look and mocked up http://keizerkarel.bzzt.net again. Looks nice, though performance seems somewhat sluggish for some reason.
To configure the default content for the anonymous user, use the 'Default content' and 'Default settings' tabs on the MySite administration page.
Feeds can be easily added, I haven't tried the 'Droplets' yet though.
[edit] Simplortal
Only 3 types of blocks have been implemented: iFrames, snippets of static HTML and RSS feeds.
