Methods and systems are provided for automatically creating and storing shortcuts to desired web sites/pages to a user identity-based shortcuts list that are accessible by the user from a variety of remote computing devices and locations. The shortcuts are automatically created and are added to the user's shortcuts list for visited web sites/pages when the properly authenticated user visits the web sites/pages. If the user is not properly authenticated, the user may be allowed to visit selected sites/pages, but shortcuts to those sites/pages are not added to the visiting user's shortcuts list.

A method and system is generally directed to retrieving data from an external source and binding the data to a structure used in executing a UI script. The external source may be on a local machine located across a network. The UI script is transformed to a tree structure. The relevant portions of the tree structure are cloned and manipulated to insert the data from the external source. The cloned portions of the tree structure are then grafted back into the tree. The tree structure is then used to display the UI corresponding to the UI script that includes the data from the external source.

A system and method is provided for personal sites. The personal sites are associated with a single Uniform Resource Locator (URL). A personal site may contain information that is useful to both the web page owner and other groups of users. According to one aspect of the present invention, the personal site may have two or more views instead of one: one homepage for the web page owner and other homepages directed at other specific users. The present invention allows a web page owner to control access to multiple web pages from a single URL, thereby allowing different groups to have different views of the owner's content. In one embodiment, a web server redirects users to different web pages by analyzing identifiers associated with each web page query.
