Me.dium among early web apps optimized for IE8

Me.dium
The big announcement at this week's MIX08 conference was undoubtedly Microsoft's latest version of Internet Explorer, IE8. With all the questions flying around about standards support and what's under the hood of the new browser, we wanted to make sure you didn't miss the news about web apps that are getting a boost from IE8. One of the early entries showcased at MIX08 was the social browsing platform Me.dium.

Me.dium is a service that turns websurfing into a social experience, adding the ability to chat with other users and see what sites they're browsing. IE8's Activities feature, which finds microformats in web pages and lets you work with them, is a great fit for Me.dium. If you're going to share social data, why stop at webpages? Me.dium is also planning to include IE8's Web Slices in its recommendation features, so you'll be able to see the most popular pages and slices in your Me.dium network.

A lot of other services should be announcing integration with these new features soon, but Me.dium got an early jump because Microsoft specifically asked them to prepare something for MIX08. That can't be bad news for Me.dium's value as a company or the features it brings to the table for users.
