1. A client computing device configured to access content over a network, the client computing device comprising:
- electronic storage configured to store networked information monitor template associated with a networked information monitor, the networked information monitor template having therein a definition of a viewer graphical user interface having a frame within which time-varying content in a web browser-readable language may be presented on a display associated with the client computing device, wherein the frame of the viewer graphical user interface lacks controls for enabling a user to specify a network location at which content for the networked information monitor is available; and
one or more processors configured to execute one or more computer program modules, the one or more computer program modules being configured to access the networked information monitor defined by the networked information monitor template, wherein accessing the networked information monitor defined by the networked information monitor template results in;
transmission, over a network to a web server at a network location, of a content request for content to be displayed within the frame of the viewer graphical user interface defined by the networked information monitor template;
reception, over the network from the web server at the network location, of content transmitted from the web server in response to the content request, the content being time-varying;
presentation, on the display, of the viewer graphical user interface defined by the networked information monitor template outside of and separate from any graphical user interface of any other application; and
presentation, on the display within the frame of the viewer graphical user interface defined by the networked information monitor, of the time-varying content received from the web server.

Abstract
A software component for accessing and displaying time-varying Internet content includes a definition for rendering a graphical user interface and a URL pointing to the time-varying Internet content to be downloaded and presented within said user interface. A component provider may create displays of Internet content which vary as a function of the varying of the time-varying Internet content. In one example, the graphical user interface includes an image, and the image varies in order to illustrate the varying of the time-varying data.

13. A computer-implemented method of accessing content over a network on a client computing device, the client computing device having electronic storage and one or more processors configured to execute one or more computer program modules, the client method comprising:
-
storing, to the electronic storage, a networked information monitor template associated with a networked information monitor, the networked information monitor template having therein a definition of a viewer graphical user interface having a frame within which time-varying content in a web browser-readable language may be presented on a display associated with the client computing device, wherein the frame of the viewer graphical user interface lacks controls for enabling a user to specify a network location at which content for the networked information monitor is available; accessing the networked information monitor defined by the networked information monitor template, wherein accessing the networked information monitor defined by the networked information monitor template results in; transmission, over a network to a web server at a network location, of a content request for content to be displayed in the viewer graphical user interface defined by the networked information monitor template; reception, over the network from the web server at the network location, of content transmitted from the web server in response to the content request, the content being time-varying; presentation, on the display, of the viewer graphical user interface defined by the application media package template outside of and separate from any graphical user interface of any other application; and presentation, on the display within the frame of the viewer graphical user interface defined by the networked information monitor, of the time-varying content received from the web server. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
