Common interface for multiple network services

A method for formulating a user interface that is used to access multiple network services and which includes at least one portion that is common amongst a plurality of network services, the method comprising:

• an act of a computing system generating a common interface portion of the user interface, the common interface portion being common amongst a plurality of network services, the common interface portion includes at least one navigation control;
• an act of the computing system generating a service-specific content portion of the user interface, the service-specific portion being specific to a at least one of the plurality of network services;
• an act of the computing system detecting a selection of the navigation control;
• and
• an act of the computing system navigating the service-specific portion to another of the plurality of network services.

A computer program product comprising one or more computer storage media having thereon computer-executable instructions that are structured such that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method for formulating a user interface that is used to access multiple network services and which includes at least one portion that is common amongst a plurality of network services, the method comprising:

• an act of a common interface generation component generating a common interface portion of the user interface, the common interface portion being common amongst the plurality of network services and comprising at least one of a header portion or a footer portion of the user interface;
• and
• an act of a service-specific content generation component generating a service-specific content portion of the user interface, the service-specific portion being specific to one of the plurality of network services,
• wherein the common interface component includes a navigation control for each of the plurality of network services and that may be used to navigate the service-specific content portion to a corresponding network service.
