FCC Launches Personalized Web Interface

Frequent visitors to the Federal Communications Commission website can now personalize the site's homepage by picking and choosing which elements they want to display. My.FCC.gov, which the FCC launched in a Beta testing version, has eight sample dashboards. Six of those dashboards are optimized for visitors from different industries such as wireless and broadcast. A seventh is designed for reporters and an eighth for consumers. Site visitors also can build their own My.FCC homepage by mixing and matching 22 different display widgets -- each corresponding with some major agency activity or publication. Users can install those widgets on a separate website where they'll be automatically updated as the FCC posts new content.
