Run multiple IE browsers on your PC

A web designer wants his web-site to be visually same across all the browsers.  Amongst other browsers or even the latter incarnations of Internet Explorer,  IE 6 is a very different animal.
We always want to test  web-sites in various IE versions IE6,  IE7 and IE8 for browser compatibility. But it is always difficult to test on different machines.
There are certain ways to test website on various versions of IE which is mentioned below.
  • What I used to do is to install 3 operating systems on a machine for IE testing, but it consumes a lot of time.
  • We can also make use of IE Tester but in some cases I found this unreliable, so I prefered to avoid it.
But I came across an excellent way to run multiple version of Internet Explorer on standalone computer.
Thanks to spoon browser ,which provides hundreds of desktop applications. It also provides multiple IE version that runs at the same time on standalone PC.
To test all IE browser we can use spoon browser sandbox .

The IAB (Interactive Advertising Bureau) has released a new study that provides some very interesting insights on how are people using Facebook and YouTube and why?


For instance, you’ll surprised to known that most people upload videos on these sites not for fun or pleasure but with a desire to impress their friends. Or that 1 in 5 users can be found eating a meal while they are watching videos on YouTube.

YouTube is seen as more of a destination for fun/cheering yourself up, where users are much more likely to visit Facebook to feel connected to people.
