Internet Buttons is a webtool that makes the Internet super easy.
You can set up a page of personalised Buttons that click through to your favourite sites or services.
Your personalised page of Buttons is saved on its own personalised URL that you can access from any computer.
There are also loads of helper bars, tips and advice to explain how to use it and how to get more out the web.
It removes all the complicated bits of the internet and makes it easy to keep going back to the places you want to go to.
It's the perfect for anyone new to the net or is just a bit web-rubbish. So if you know any one flummoxed by tweets, links and pokes or who'd appreciate learning how to email, Skype, or shop online, why not set them up with a page of Internet Buttons today?
Internet Buttons was created by the not-for-profit company We Are What We Do as part of their work to get people from different generations talking more, sharing more and spending more time together.
9.2 million people in the UK alone are offline, and 6.4 million of them are over 65. Yet 90% of communication between 11-18 years olds is digital. Interent Buttons aims to overcome this growing divide.
Internet Buttons is being used by our partners UK online centres and Race Online 2012. Internet Buttons was made possible through funding by the Nominet Trust
What a simple, yet fantastic idea. Perfect for my Granparents!!!!

This web project allows you to acess (or edit) your buttons from any computer, since you get to have your own url. So each user gets its own personal buttons no matter what computer (or web browser) they use. The simplistic design encourages people that are not familiar with the internet to use it, given the right directions in the buttons.
Very simple to use and with a personal touch.

Every web browser I can think of has this functionality built in.
