Abstract: An application management system may have a user interface in which a user may input a text phrase that describes a desired action. The system may generate metadata relating to the text phrase and distribute the metadata and text phrase to many different registered applications, some of which may be web based applications. Each application may return one or more suggested actions, along with some optional information from the application. The suggested actions may be ranked and presented on the user interface, and a user may select an action to be performed. The system may launch the application and have the action performed.

Abstract: A digital document request can be received at a publisher computing environment from a client computing environment. A document requested by the digital document request can include an embedded content placeholder. A third-party embedded content request can be sent from a content broker computing environment (which may be the same as or different from the publisher computing environment) to an embedded content provider computing environment to request content for the embedded content placeholder. Content corresponding to the third-party embedded content request can be received at the content broker computing environment. In addition, the digital document can be sent from the publisher computing environment to the client computing environment, and the content can be sent from the content broker computing environment to the client computing environment. Advertisement selection can also be delegated to an advertisement selection delegate computing environment.

Abstract: A method of presenting information on a display monitor within a computing environment includes accessing a website containing a related collection of electronic pages, crawling the website to obtain raw image data for at least some of each of the pages, porting the raw image data into a template so that each of the crawled pages is converted into a corresponding information panel containing a mapping of the content of its respective corresponding page, and displaying each of the information panels on a respective display monitor so all of the panels are viewable to a user in a single screen shot. Related methods, apparatus, and systems are further provided.
