It's browser-in-a-browser action with Bitty Browser
Hey man, do you want to get small? Well have I got the browser for you. Actually it's not a browser. It's a clever bit of code which allows you to embed a web browser on a web page. Picture-in-picture for your pages. Bitty Browser. Kooky.Why in the world would you do this? Well, if you wanted to let someone jump to another site while on your site, it's an idea. Or how about rolling your own personalized portal page? Bitty supports not just web pages, but RSS & Atom, plus podcasts. For addded fun, the developers have some e-z links for popular services like Backpack, Del.icio.us, Flickr, Technorati, even MSNSpaces.
Slap all those on a page, get the 30-inch LCD fired up, and bam: all your 'net life on one big web page. What else can you dream up with this?

A Hack-A-Day reader said he was able to use this to get through his school's firewall to read our site.

I luuuuurve bitty browser. It's quite awesome -- I'm mostly using it to hack up the personalized portal route: I've got a page with a personal research notes wiki (inside a Bitty Browser) on the right and a Bitty Browser with my del.icio.us links I've marked as needing to be wikified on the left. I can fly through and review the links and cut and paste what I want to go into my notes, all in one interface. Very sweet.

It'd be neat if someone could hack Bitty Browser into a Dashboard widget.
