Me.dium shows off new IE 8 features
Date : 2008 03 05 Category : Tech & Development
AjaxianMe.dium, the social browsing folks, have put together some examples using the new Activities and Web Slices features.
You can install their Activity if you have IE 8, or you can take a look below:
As part of Activities,
Me.dium now offers a powerful “Social Discovery” Activity from any page. Me.dium’s “Discover” Activity gives you recommendations, related to a page or selected key words, which are influenced by the real time surfing activity of all Me.dium users. Me.dium also displays a “real-time map” of user activity on the pages related to the selected text, page, or link so users can see how popular those pages are with Me.dium users in real time.
This is their XML file.
