1. A method of managing a networked information monitor for accessing and presenting Internet content, the networked information monitor being a part of a home networked information monitor containing a plurality of networked information monitors, an instance of said networked information monitor being based on a networked information monitor template, the network information monitor template comprising (i) a definition of a dedicated viewer graphical user interface within which Internet content is presented and (ii) a network reference to said Internet content, wherein the definition of the dedicated viewer graphical user interface defines a graphical appearance of a frame that frames the dedicated viewer graphical user interface within which the Internet content is presented, the graphical appearance of the frame as defined by the definition of the dedicated viewer graphical user interface including one or more graphical elements presented in the frame, the presentation of the dedicated viewer graphical user interface on an electronic display being independent from and outside of any graphical user interface of any other application, said networked information monitor template being stored on a server computer, said method comprising:

  • logging into the server computer by a first user at a client computer;

    receiving, from the server computer at the client computer associated with the first user, a first user profile comprising the networked information monitor template;

    presenting, on a display associated with the client computer, the networked information monitor in accordance with the networked information monitor template;

    receiving a selection, at the client computer, of a first adjustment to the networked information monitor that adjusts a characteristic of the dedicated viewer graphical user interface independent from the network reference to the Internet content presented in the dedicated viewer graphical user interface and independent from the Internet content presented in the dedicated viewer graphical user interface;

    adjusting, on the client computer, the networked information monitor in accordance with the first adjustment, wherein subsequent to the adjustment, the networked information monitor is defined by an adjusted networked information monitor template that reflects the first adjustment;

    transmitting, by the client computer to the server computer for storage, an updated user profile comprising the adjusted networked information monitor template;

    storing, at the client computer, a selectable link to said adjusted networked information monitor template; and

    generating, on the client computer, an electronic message addressed to a receiving party that includes the selectable link, wherein the selectable link is configured to provide access to the adjusted network information monitor template for the receiving user, wherein the selectable link is configured such that selection of the selectable link by the receiving user results in association of the adjusted networked information monitor with a second user profile corresponding to the receiving user.
