Me.dium now integrated with Windows Internet Explorer 8

Me.dium announced that its Social Search service, the first crowd-powered search engine, will be integrated into Microsoft’s new Windows Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2 (IE8). 

Microsoft has chosen Me.dium as a launch partner because of the unique value it provides to search, and Medium’s ability to help IE8 take the web experience “beyond the page.”
Me.dium’s Social Search has a unique ability to harness the activity of the crowds to let users find information that has relevance based on what people are actually looking at right now. This enhances Microsoft’s IE8 promises to deliver the best browser for what people do every day, making that experience faster, easier and safer than ever. Searching is the most commonly performed task on the web. By featuring Me.dium’s innovative search experience, IE8 now provides the user with an entirely new level of crowd-powered information on top of traditional search, and helps users to keep up with what’s hot, and see recommendations ranked by what people are actually looking at; reflecting the changing interests of the online community.
