Embodiments of the present invention enable efficient presentation of user
information. A user identifier is presented on a page. In response to a
selection of a user identifier, one or more user information modules are
utilized to return information relating to the user. The user information
modules are modules that maintain user information in association with a
user. In one embodiment, a configurable java server tag function
generates the presentation of the user identifier, which can then be
selected and utilized to request information from one or more information
sources.
