  • Publication number: 20090063502
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a solution for adding user specified content to a customized portal. In the solution, URL addressable content can be selected from a user specified Web source. A platform agnostic container can be established for the content. A user selected portal platform can be determined for the established container. The container can be adjusted for the user selected platform. The adjusted container can be added to a set of user selectable objects for the platform. The user selectable objects can be customizable by a user to create a customized portal for the portal platform accessible via a URL associated with the platform. When the adjusted container is selected for a customized portal, the selected URL addressable content appears within the customized portal. The URL addressable content of the adjusted container can remain synchronized with the Web source, which ensures information currency.
