Fresh out of the Google Labs is a nice new tool -- Google Trends -- which enables you to "compare the world's interest in your favorite topics." So if you type in CMS, portal, and intranet, you'll notice that it seems like portals are getting most the attention, while CMS and intranet are trolling behind. Of course "portal" is a much misused term, but it still gets more news, even when subtracting the less relevant bites about AOL portals and such. Vendors are smart; more and more CMS vendors are beginning to use the term portal. So be a smart buyer and avoid locking yourself into "just" looking at CMS or portal. Instead, look for solutions to your problem, independent of their labeling.
