Home page

From Wikinfo

In computer terms, a home page is the site an internet browser first visits when opened. In addition, a home page may also refer to the main page of a website. For example, the home page of wikinfo can be found here.

A home page is usually set to either an internet portal or, if the computer is located inside an institution, the institution's web page.

The home page is a window to the website and usually best reflects the site's content

History

The concept of bookmarks was created out of necessity for Internet Gopher with the concept of Home Gopher, as is found in TurboGopher. Bookmarks are common in almost all distributed information systems.
