One of the interesting features introduced in the new Internet Explore 8 is the web slices. Web slices allows you to keep update on your email, stocks or weather reports right from the Favorite Bar.

Yahoo Mail via the IE8 optimized for Yahoo has built the Yahoo Mail web slices functionality within the web browser itself. With Yahoo Mail web slices, any new emails coming into the mailbox can be viewed with a single click on the Yahoo Slices icon, without even leaving the page you’re currently in. List of emails will be displayed on top of that page. However to read the whole email, you’ll still need to go to the Yahoo Mail page.

Besides Yahoo Mail web slices, there are other web slices available on web slices gallery that you can try out.  But even that, the number of websites implementing web slices  is still small, but it might grow bigger, once the true potential of web slices are discovered in future, hopefully.

Download and install Internet Explore 8 optimized for Yahoo here.
