WebRunner Begat Prism

Just a week ago I wrote about Mozilla’s WebRunner. It was an interesting approach at “site specific browsing” but a bit of pain to build configs for — ok, not really, but not as simple as one might like.

Enter “Prism“, a new Mozilla Labs project:

Prism is an application that lets users split web applications out of their browser and run them directly on their desktop.

Setting this one to run with a specific app is a bit more straightforward than it was with WebRunner:

What an awesome way to setup shortcuts to my various online office applications.

I’ve mentioned interesting ways to run Meebo a few times in the past week, this obviously makes yet another — and perhaps the best one yet?
