IE8 support in RuNet - Yandex, RuTube, Gismeteo, Wikipedia

Last week, at the opening of the Platform 2009 conference , we presented the largest Russian sites that already use the new features of Internet Explorer 8. Let me remind you that the browser is currently in Beta 2 stage and is also available in Russian .

1. Yandex , one of the pillars of Runet, has been supporting Accelerators since December 4. For this, they made a special project on Yandex.Nano.
   At the moment, it is possible by highlighting the text on the pages to find the location of the object through Yandex.Maps and goods on sale through Yandex.Market .
2. The largest Russian video hosting company, RuTube , supports IE8 from December 3.
   Going to the main page of the new browser, you can set yourself a Web fragment with the TOP-10 videos for today, put the Accelerator to search for video on the selected text.
   In addition, comments to all videos can also be saved as a Web fragment.
3. The well-known weather resource Gismeteo now allows you to track the weather in the desired city through the Web fragment.
   To do this, go to the page of a city and set the fragment through the top toolbar.
4. Russian-language Wikipedia allows you to search for objects with instant display of mini-pictures to these objects. This is Visual Search - all information is displayed immediately in the search bar in the upper right corner.

At the moment, a video of the opening is available on the Platform site, though not in final form - in particular, during this demo-screen, only the upper left corner of the screen is visible. IE8 features can be found on site from 01:30:45. However, all of the above is available on the web to everyone, so that you yourself can try new features in action.
Every day the sites that support the new features of IE8, is becoming more and more. If you do something interesting on your website, write in the comments.
