document: Web montage : a dynamic personalized start page Despite the connotation of the words `` browsing '' and `` surfing , '' web usage often follows routine patterns of access . However , few mechanisms exist to assist users with these routine tasks ; bookmarks or portal sites must be maintained manually and are insensitive to the user 's browsing context . To fill this void , we designed and implemented the montage system . A web montage is an ensemble of links and content fused into a single view . Such a coalesced view can be presented to the user whenever he or she opens the browser or returns to the start page . We pose a number of hypotheses about how users would interact with such a system , and test these hypotheses with a fielded user study . Our findings support some design decisions , such as using browsing context to tailor the montage , raise questions about others , and point the way toward future work .
