Enabling a user to create a mini information center thereby reducing the time needed for the user to obtain the desired information

A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium for creating a mini information center, the computer program product comprising the programming instructions for:

• presenting an initial set of questions to a user to answer;
• identifying topics of interest based on responses to said initial set of questions from said user;
• presenting a list of said identified topics of interest to said user, wherein each of said identified topics of interest is associated with a short description, wherein each of said identified topics of interest is associated with one or more articles;
• receiving indications of articles selected by said user;
• presenting a list of options associated with each article selected by said user, wherein said list of options comprises an option to store an article selected by said user and store an identified topic of interest associated with said selected article in a first directory from which to build said mini information center;
• and
• building said mini information center based on stored articles and associated topics of interest in said first directory.

A system, comprising:

• a memory unit for storing a computer program for creating a mini information center;
• and
• a processor coupled to said memory unit, wherein said processor, responsive to said computer program, comprises:
• circuitry for presenting an initial set of questions to a user to answer;
• circuitry for identifying topics of interest based on responses to said initial set of questions from said user;
• circuitry for presenting a list of said identified topics of interest to said user, wherein each of said identified topics of interest is associated with a short description, wherein each of said identified topics of interest is associated with one or more articles;
• circuitry for receiving indications of articles selected by said user;
• circuitry for presenting a list of options associated with each article selected by said user, wherein said list of options comprises an option to store an article selected by said user and store an identified topic of interest associated with said selected article in a first directory from which to build said mini information center;
• and
• circuitry for building said mini information center based on stored articles and associated topics of interest in said first directory.
