I would be more inclined to say that the Internet -is- famed for its

business partnerships. Often in the guise of 'for the good of all' but in

reality much like any other domain, for the good of the involved. After all

what are standards about? The whole idea behind standards is that there is

a kind of glue in effect partnering all businesses that work the internet.


This is where a sticky portal could reside, sat squarely and firmly on

standards, so that update function you talk about should be available to

any content supplier, because were all a member of this partnership. I

beleive the last, and failed attempt at this was push. Now theres a dirty

word.
