An online application enables an end user to navigate to a web site, upload digital images, and to combine those images with words in a stylized template to create a user-generated story. A story is a web page, typically a collection of photos and words that are brought together by a stylized template that can be customized by the end user. Preferably, a given story is available from the site at a given location (at a URL) that may be private or public. A given story may be shared with other end users, published to other web sites or web logs, or maintained solely for one's own use. The invention also provides for multiple end users to collaborate to create a 'shared' story.

Method and system for online image security

A caching system and method are disclosed that allow for the caching of web pages that have dynamic content. The caching system and method utilize a cacheability analyzer that analyzes responses based on time, content, user identification, and macro hierarchy. The caching system only caches those responses having dynamic content that are deemed cacheable. Further, the automatic caching system can be overridden by the information author, the page creator or the system designer.

Cache override control in an apparatus for caching dynamic content

A caching system and method are disclosed that allow for the caching of web pages that have dynamic content. The caching system and method utilize a cacheability analyzer that analyzes responses based on time, content, user identification, and macro hierarchy. The caching system only caches those responses having dynamic content that are deemed cacheable. The method for caching dynamic content includes identifying parts of a response to a request for dynamic content from a requestor and attributes associated with the parts. The attributes are examined to determine cacheability of the response. A cacheability is made based on the determination and the response may be cached based upon that cacheability determination.

Method and system for automatically caching dynamic content based on a cacheability determination

A text message abstraction system and method allowing for the selection of important pieces of information based upon a number of criteria and for the removal of unnecessary components of a message. The abstraction system of the present invention is provided with an input message, a command set and a maximum message length and attempts to generate a message conveying all of the important information contained within the text message but within the maximum message length constraint.
