At the conference, Microsoft announced the release of its next major web browser &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/windows\/internet-explorer\/\">Internet Explorer 8<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It was a lot of fun attending MIX09 (thank you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oneriot.com\/company\/about\">Tobias<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oneriot.com\/company\/about\">Robert<\/a>!), the Add-on-Con CodeFest (hosted by <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/ie\/\">IE8<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oneriot.com\">OneRiot<\/a>), and most of all meeting all the people behind Internet Explorer 8.<\/p>\n<p>With the assistance of the IE8 team at the <a href=\"http:\/\/addoncon.com\/\">Add-on-Con<\/a> CodeFest, I was able to complete an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/tools\/ie\/\">Accelerator for IE8<\/a> that lets anyone share information with other services such as Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Delicious, and a variety of other services within the IE8 browser &#8212; very similar to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/tools\/firefox\">Shareaholic for Firefox<\/a>. It can be downloaded <a href=\"http:\/\/ieaddons.com\/en\/details\/bookmarks\/Sharing_Email_Bookmark_Tool\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the event for me was the inclusion of Shareaholic in the IE8 release keynote by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crunchbase.com\/person\/dean-hachamovitch\">Dean Hachamovitch<\/a>, the GM of Internet Explorer. It was certainly a privilege, and I enjoyed every minute of it!<\/p>\n<p>I stitched together this short 02:53 video from the main keynote recording. Hope you like it! <object width=\"500\" height=\"375\" classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3829745&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00adef&amp;fullscreen=1\" \/><embed width=\"500\" height=\"375\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" src=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=3829745&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00adef&amp;fullscreen=1\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" \/><\/object><br \/>\n<small>Full keynote video can be viewed <a href=\"http:\/\/live.visitmix.com\/\">here<\/a>. <\/small><\/p>\n<p>It didn&#8217;t take long to go from nothing to keynote ready. IE8 is a step in the right direction in making it easier for developers wanting to extend Internet Explorer easily &#8212; however I do already have a wish list for the IE8 team :)<\/p>\n<p>A big thank you for your support, for without which none of this would be possible. Lots more coming very soon &#8211; stay tuned! Also, please keep those suggestions coming, we&#8217;re listening.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shareaholic.com\/tools\/ie\/\"><strong style=\"font-size: 14px; color: red;\">Get Shareaholic for IE8 now! &gt;<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I attended the MIX09 conference in Las Vegas.
