It would be great to have separate Desktop applications for most visited websites or web services. If you too are fan of standalone applications which do not need any other application to open them, then this is the thing you are looking for.

For example, you can use desktop application to check emails without go to destination, or watch a Youtube video without opening browser. These applications runs your favorite web application with look and feel of standard desktop application. In simple words, create website specific executable browser.

Bubble is a light weight application which can turn any website into a useful desktop application. Just enter URL and instantly you get an application window of that website. Any number of sites can be added.

This window acts as a complete application of a particular site. You can add Desktop shortcut or keep it minimized in system tray and update it more often when needed. Also, you can get notified for any updates in the application you are running for example Email or facebook chat.

Also, they offer some pre built extensions of popular web services, you can download them from Extension Repository.

This is another awesome software to convert any website or web service into standalone desktop application. So, that you access most favorite, most used or social networks easily. It has better interface than above.

The directory of applications available gives you more features as if its real Youtube app or Calender application. For me, when tried Navigating on Youtube, The Menu bar options facilitate more options as shown.
