Facebook IE8 web slice goes live!

13 March 2010 |

A few months back I’ve started working with Giorgio Sardo on a Facebook IE8 Web Slice. In fact there were a few people that already were aware of that and have been bugging me for the download link ;-) since my TechEd 2009 interview and my IE8 talk at Microsoft Dev Days where I’ve shown just a glimpse of it.
