Examples of IE8 Web Slices

Posted: (EET/GMT+2)

 

If you have studied the new features in Internet Explorer 8, you know that one of them is Web Slices.

Web Slices allow parts of a web site to marked as an updateable slice, which you can then add as a favorite to our IE8 browser. Whenever the slice updates on the origin server, IE8 catches that up, and shows it to the user. RSS, sort of.

Now, despite the documentation on MSDN and elsewhere, it's actually quite hard to find real-world examples of the technology. Luckily, there's at least one such site, called LiveSlices. Check it out.
