Abstract
Methods and apparatus for extracting information from an electronic document, such as, for example, a webpage. An outline, such as, for example, the document object model, of a web page is analyzed for objects of interest, such as, photos, dates, email addresses, etc. The instructions defining which objects are objects of interests can be predetermined by the user and/or the network content provider. The user can be given the option to save objects of interest to their network account and the webpage and/or browser can be augmented with additional content related to identified objects. Objects transmitted to the network content provider are saved with an appropriate network service, for example, photos are saved in an online photo album.
