Overcoming Shyness with IE8
Windows Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) was released by Microsoft in March of 2009, three years after IE7. Some of the new features in IE8 include Accelerators, which are a form of selection-based search which allow a user to invoke an online service from any page via the mouse. This helps to cut down on the need to copy and paste text between web pages. IE8 also includes Web Slices, which are snippets of an entire web page that a user can subscribe to. The new redesigned Favorites Bar is able to host content such as Web Slices, web feeds and documents, in addition to the website links which were previously supported.
A commercial for IE8 starring Dean Cain has been circulating on the web. Check out how to overcome S.H.Y.N.E.S.S. (“Sharing Heavily Yet Not Enough Sharing Still”) here:

Hey,
This is Feran with the Internet Explorer Outreach Team. You can also learn how to overcome another common browser-based affliction – F.O.M.S. (fear of missing something). Check it out here at the Browser for the Better web site – http://www.browserforthebetter.com?ocid=ie8_sm_a.
Stay tuned for more upcoming browser-based conditions and if you download IE8 from this site Microsoft will donate 8 meals to Feeding America.
Thanks,
Feran
