Patent number: 8954861Abstract: A method of facilitating the self-administration of a directory of available modules on a group's syndicated customizable content document or start page is presented. The method includes presenting an initial list of modules to an administrator of a group, enabling the administrator to identify module selection information that identifies criteria for inclusion and/or exclusion of one or more modules in a directory, and storing the module selection information identified by the administrator. When a user of the group accesses a customized content document, the user is presented with a modified list of available modules based on the module selection information. Using this method, the administrator is capable of excluding modules from a global list, including only a specific subset of modules, or a combination of both. A system of carrying out the method is also presented.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2007Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Ryohei Takahashi, Shoumen Saha, John Hjelmstad, Alan Kobrin, Michael Horowitz, Sanjay Raman
