Today is about Web Slices!

Web Slices - keep up with changes to the websites you care about most

If I want to track this eBay auction to make sure I get the best deal, I can just add a Web Slice. A Web Slice allows me to view up-to-date information within a page without having to come back to website over and over.

or let me give you a Lebanese Example :) of where we can use that :P

in Lebanon, you find that everyone is always involved in a way in politics and  NEWS is quite VERY important for Most Lebanese… and not only that… COMPARING NEWS is MUCH more important.. as they have to compare different news source for the SAME INFORMATION… so instead of opening daily  4 – 5 different websites, to check the headlines etc.. you can make it as easy as clicking few buttons on the top :o)… so wait until the News Sites implements Web Slices and you’ll have more time to work now :P

and another example i use sometimes to elaborate the need to attendees in some events i speak in, is the “La Tabkha” example… here it is:

in Lebanon there’s one Famous Restaurant that serves Lebanese Home Cooked Food and deliver it to your home / office, and it’s called “La Tabkha” (which is a Combination of the French “La” ( the ) and Arabic “Tabkha” (home cooked meal)) and since i spend most of my time at the office, on the road or in the Air :P, most of my food is FAST Food… so lots of the time i try to benefit from eating a home cooked meal at the office… so i go and check their website like daily to know the specials… i only go there to see 4 x 4 CM :o) … so if they have it as a Webslice… i can visit it everyday without leaving my work screen :o) … anyways maybe they will someday :P

Let’s See an example of how you can add a WebSlice

Go to MSN.com and click on get the MSN.com SlideShow Webslice by simply adding it from the page or from the top menu on the right.

Here’s the steps on how to do so:

1– go to msn.com

2 - From the Top Right, you will notice a Green Button

or  just hover over the center of the page and you’ll notice the green icon next to the page

3- Click!

4- There you go :o)!

Now you can access MSN Slideshow from anywhere (below is me accessing the Webslice while I'm on my Facebook page) 

Cheers,
