Sometimes old can be new. Many people today use Google for their browser home page because it gives them instant access to the whole internet. In fact it is standard practice for computer retailers to install Google on the home page on every new computer sold. The problem is that the user must enter a keyword for every site or type of site they which to visit, or rely heavily on saved links and bookmarks. Wholelook.com takes all that away by providing front page links to most of the current popular websites such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and Youtube, etc., as well providing a front page link to all of the major search engines such as Google, Yahoo, Bing, and Ask, etc,. Whole Look also provides it’s own competent search.
Wholelook.com is the first bonafide browsing website since the mid nineties. In the early days of the Internet, Search Engine websites such as Yahoo, Netscape, Excite, and Alta Vista were the multifaceted web portals through which the Internet was accessed. Each site offered a search bar plus myriads of links to the main stream common and interesting features of the time as well as providing a search engine or search directory capability. Through the mid nineties, Netscape was the standard web browser on most computers. Yahoo et al, also comprised search engine portals and directories which you accessed through Netscape. Google was still a few years in the future. Then Microsoft Explorer came along and it was positioned as a portal to competitively distinguish it from Netscape the browser. Over time, most of the original search engine portals dropped the portal aspect altogether, and most are now just simple search engines boxes along the format eventually pioneered by Google.
Over time the term portal in general has been commandeered to be the generic term used for any website, as it is in effect the sic, portal to that company's or person's stuff. To surf around on the internet now requires keeping bookmarks or favourites saved everywhere at best, or having a darn good memory for typing the URLs manually into a browser or Search engine every time at worst. A few Search Engines like Yahoo, and MSN, and Excite have retained the portal aspect, but now mostly offer only daily news and simple titillations, plus their own stuff. Whole Look has turned it all around again by making getting out to the internet its stuff.
