Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing albums are provided. An album has a plurality of links to documents, such as static graphic representations of web pages, or web pages themselves. Users may graphically add links to documents to albums by dragging graphic representations of such documents to a designated place on a computer interface. When a user shares an album, a link to the album is sent to a recipient. When the recipient activates the album link, documents linked by the album are presented as a graphical presentation can then be reviewed. Each of these documents can be in a document repository addressable and each of these documents may be categorized. Advertisements can be served when albums are shared. Such advertisements are chosen from an advertisement repository based on a characterization of the album or a characterization of one or more documents linked by the album.

Abstract: Under one aspect, a method for building an album includes: obtaining a plurality of documents from a remotely located document repository; displaying a first document in the plurality of documents in a center position of a graphic output device; displaying a second document in the plurality of documents in a first off-center position of the graphic output device; wherein the second document is displayed rotated about a first axis of rotation that lies between the center position and the first off-center position of the graphic output device; accepting user input to add a link to the document in the remotely located document repository to said album; and storing said album in a remotely located album repository.

Abstract: Under one aspect, a method of displaying information includes: obtaining, responsive to a user query, an album from a remote computer, wherein the album comprises a plurality of links. Each link is to a static graphic representation, and each static graphic representation is stored in a document repository in a remote location. Each static graphic representation is a static graphic representation of a document retrieved from the Internet at a time before the obtaining. The method also includes getting, responsive to said user query, a subset or all of the static graphic representations using a corresponding subset or all of the links. The subset or all of the static graphic representations in the album is at least two static graphic representations in the album. The method also includes displaying the subset of static representations on a graphic output device.
