What happened to the “Excite” portlets that were included in the Beta and Early Adopters releases?
The Excite affiliate program that produced the Excite headline content was officially discontinued by Excite, so these portlets have been removed as samples from the production release. They are currently available in the PDK. Although they continue to work, they are not supported and may stop working at any time. Syndicated content is available from other Oracle9iAS Portal partners such as Factiva, Hoover’s Online, InfoSpace, iSyndicate, Northern Light, Screaming Media, and YellowBrix. Back to Top 5.0 Installation and Configuration The Oracle9iAS Portal team is actively working to improve the overall installation and configuration experience of the product. The team considers these issues to be its top priority.
