`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`A method for accessing and displaying network content
`employs an informational component which includes a defi
`nition for rendering a graphical user interface within which
`content may be presented outside of and without utilization of
`another application. The informational component also
`includes one or more definitions of content locations from
`which content elements may be transmitted over a network
`and presented within the graphical user interface. A provider
`of an informational component or informational components
`may thus create customized displays within which intended
`content may be rendered. An application component may be
`used in association with an informational component or infor
`mational components to manage the collection, organization,
`sharing, and rendering of plurality of the informational com
`ponent(s).
