[gutvol-d] the emergence of the "site-specific browser"

there's a new mac app called "pyro" available here:

http://www.karppinen.fi/pyro/

as it says on the site, pyro

demonstrates a new breed of applications we call site-specific browsers—apps that are about making a browser-based application better with client-side technology while keeping the user interface intact.

pyro works with "campfire", a web-based chat service. this kind of application -- one that runs on the users own machines, but connects them with the web -- is how many e-book viewers of the future will be oriented. -bowerbird
