Web Slices
What are Web Slices?
How often do you regularly go to the same websites to check for updates to common things such as the weather, sports scores of auction items? Web Slices are like small snippets of the web that sit in so you can keep up with frequently updated sites directly from your Favourites Bar. If a Web Slice is available on a page, a green Web Slices icon will appear in the Command Bar. Click this, and you'll be able to subscribe to the Web Slice, making it easier to keep track of that 'slice' of the web.
