Abstract

Apparatus, method, and manufacture, illustratively the aggregation apparatus connects to a sites on the Internet, authenticates itself with the sites, and facilitates at least one of: retrieving user-selected information from the sites, parsing the user-selected information from the sites to produce an aggregation, and rendering at least some of the aggregation as the output; retrieving information from the sites, parsing the information from the sites, and user-selectedly filtering the parsed information in producing an aggregation of the parsed information in producing an aggregation, and rendering at least some of the aggregation as the output; and retrieving information from the sites, parsing the information from the sites, producing an aggregation of the parsed information so as to produce an aggregation of the parsed information, and user-selectedly rendering the aggregation as the output. The rendering can include supplying content from one of the sites to another of the sites.

Claims

1-22. -22. (canceled)

23. An aggregation apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

a computer, networking hardware connecting the computer to the Internet, and a memory storing executable instructions which when executed by the computer, enable the aggregation apparatus to perform the operations of;

connecting, to a plurality of sites on the Internet,

authenticating itself with each of the sites, and

facilitating user management of output, the facilitating including at least one of;

retrieving user-selected information from the sites, parsing the user-selected information from the sites so as to produce an aggregation of the parsed information, and rendering at least some of the aggregation as the output;

retrieving information from the sites, parsing the information from the sites, and user-selectedly filtering the parsed information in producing an aggregation of the parsed information in producing an aggregation, and rendering at least some of the aggregation as the output; and

retrieving information from the sites, parsing the information from the sites, producing an aggregation of the parsed information so as to produce an aggregation of the parsed information, and user-selectedly rendering the aggregation as the output.

24. The apparatus of claim 23, wherein said at least one includes at least two.

25. The apparatus of claim 23, wherein said at least one includes at least three.

26. The apparatus of claim 23, wherein the rendering includes supplying content from one of the sites to another of the sites.

27. An aggregation apparatus, comprising:

a computer, networking hardware connecting the computer to the Internet, and a memory storing executable instructions which when executed by the computer, enable the aggregation apparatus to perform the operations of;

connecting to a plurality of sites on the Internet,

authenticating itself with each of the sites,

retrieving information from the sites,

parsing the retrieved information from the sites so as to produce an aggregation of the parsed information,

rendering the aggregation so as to facilitate managing content of the aggregation from one of the plurality of the sites on the Internet, and

supplying at least some of the managed content to an other of the sites on the Internet.

28. The apparatus of claim 27, wherein the supplying includes posting said at least some of the managed content to said other of the plurality of the sites on the Internet.
