Tom Mollerus' Weblog

Internet Explorer 8 Beta introduces a new live bookmark feature they call "WebSlices". WebSlices actually subscribe you to portions of a Web page. It's a pretty cool idea-- with some easy mark-up in your page, you can allow users to subscribe to subscribe to your site's information without creating an extra RSS feed. And, users can view the feed not as a text list in a grey menu, but as a slightly larger window with its original HTML/CSS formatting. It's kind of like a graphical RSS feed, but without the work of maintaining the feed.
