vortal noun. A vertical portal.

Example Citation:
"I told you back in April how corporate portals are a threat to the giant consumer portals. . . .But I'm talking here about vortals, gathering places for an entire industry. They serve not only as a resource for news and research, but also support business-to-business services by uniting buyers and sellers and enabling transactions."
—Jesse Berst, "Why You'll Never Go to Yahoo Again," Jesse Berst's AnchorDesk
