Activities
are contextual services to quickly access a service from any webpage. Users
typically copy and paste from one webpage to another. Internet Explorer 8
Activities make this common pattern easier to do.

Activities typically
involve two types of scenarios: “look up” information within a webpage or “send”
web content to a web application. For example, a user is interested in a
restaurant and wants to see the location of it. This is the form of a “look up”
Activity where the user selects the address and views an in-place view of the
map using his favorite map service.

An example of a “send” Activity is a
user reads an interesting article and wants to blog about a portion of the
article. The user can select a portion of the article and uses the blog
Activity. This navigates to the user?s blog site with the selection already
available in the edit field.

Activities are services that the user can
install and manage. Users can install them from the Internet Explorer 8 Service
Guide or through any website that advertises Activities.
