Abstract
A method for creating a short web page based on an original web page includes retrieving a current version of the original web page. The current version of the web page is divided into a plurality of blocks. User-selection information is added to each of the plurality of blocks, the user-selection information including a select and a non-select user option. The user selects ones of the plurality of blocks by exercising a select user option from the user-selection information associated with each of the plurality of blocks. The user non-selects others of the plurality of blocks by exercising a non-select user option from the user-selection information associated with each of the plurality of blocks. Only the user selected ones of the plurality of blocks are stored. A short web page is created based only on the stored ones of the plurality of blocks.
