Abstract :
A novel Web application called "my portal viewer (MPV)" has been developed to provide Web users with higher quality content, which is needed due to a rapidly growing amount of content on the Web. It provides fused news to the user, based on two viewpoints, through a user friendly interface and the user\´s preferences. MPV automatically selects and merges content from many news pages, based on the user\´s interest and knowledge, after gathering these pages from various news Web sites. Our unique approach is that the layout of the MPV page is applied to the users\´ favorite news portal page and a part of the original content is replaced by the fused content. Whenever a user accesses an MPV page after browsing other news pages, he/she can acquire the desired content efficiently because MPV presents a refreshed page, based on the user\´s behavior, which reflects his/her interests and knowledge. In addition to the MPV framework, methods that are based on user reference for replacing and selecting have been developed using an HTML table model.
