Abstract
A method, system and apparatus for enabling users to create customized user interfaces in accordance with their preferences. The user interface is structured as a node map, wherein nodes may be added to the node map in accordance with the user'"'"'s needs. The nodes may be connected there-between to define relationships between the different nodes. The nodes may have an attachment, an action, an application and/or the like associated therewith. The user may perform a variety of other functions to customize, alter or expand the information depicted on their user interface.
