Abstract

A method and computing system for providing a highly reliable web site that is capable of handling millions of Internet users per day. The computing system is customizable on a per user basis yet seamlessly aggregates data from a number of information providers, such as news services, weather services, stock services, personal email, and even a community specific service. The computing system includes a plurality of personalization stores that maintain personalization data for a corresponding Internet user. The computing system is based on a federated model in which a single entry point spans to a plurality of web servers. Each web server has an aggregation module, such as an Internet Server API (ISAPI) filter, that retrieves user-specific data 'clips' from the personalization store and passes the data to one or more provider objects. The provider objects receive data from the information providers and render the data to form the data clips according to the personalization data retrieved from the personalization store.
