INTRODUCTION
Over the years of the development of the Internet, the existing large general-purpose web portals, like Yahoo, MSN, AOL, etc., have monopolized the market. It is extremely difficult for new entrants to enter the general web portals business. On the other hand, from the evidence of the emergence of professional virtual communities (Chen and Hung, 2010), professionals in different industries or specialized areas are eager to have virtual platforms for information ex**ge and social support. Therefore, industry or specialized web portals present a new opportunity in the Internet business. For convenience, we use the term industry web portals to refer to industry web portals, specialized web portals, and professional-specific web portals.
The main differences between general web portals and industry web portals are the content and users. An industry web portal’s content is about the specific industry, which may include news, knowledge, recruitment information, and various virtual communities. The users of an industry web portal are people working in the industry, people working in a related industry, and people seeking job opportunities in the industry. Visitors come to an industry web portal for diverse purposes which may include looking for news and jobs, learning new knowledge, seeking friendship and support, sharing knowledge, experiences, opinions, and ideas, and looking for co-creation of new knowledge, new products, and new services.
