Abstract

A computer implemented method, and a carrier medium carrying computer code to implement the method to generate a customized “link collection” of topics and items attached to the topics related to a subject of interest to a group of people. The link collection includes items of information, provided, in one embodiment, in the form of URLs. A member of the link collection requires only a computer connected to a server system via a network such as the Internet.
