- determining a current location of the device;
- sending the current location of the device to a content provider;
- identifying a request, by the user, for a predetermined page to be displayed by the device;
- in response to the identifying of the selection, receiving content via a network connection, the content being selected by a content provider based on the preference information;
- receiving additional content via the network connection for inclusion in the predetermined page, the additional content being selected by the content provider based on the current location of the device,
- wherein the additional content includes selectable links for navigation to other content associated with the additional content;
- automatically designing a layout of the received content for display on the device;
- and
- outputting, on a display of the device, the received content on the predetermined page in the layout.
A computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer usable medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code configured to:
- receive, at a device, preference information from a user;
- determine a current location of the device;
- send the current location of the device to a content provider;
