Can you build a Windows 8 Live Tile that Launches A Website Instead of a Metro App?

Question

Live Tiles are the "front door" for metro apps on Windows 8. Can you instead launch a website instead of a Metro app?

Accepted Answer

Could you write an app that just does one thing, and that is to launch the browser with the specified Uri:

```
Launcher.LaunchUriAsync(new Uri("http://my.website.com"));
```

That has the advantage that it is represented as a traditional app rather than a pinned site, so you can style the tile as you wish.
