An Easy Chrome App

This app is basically a link to a website.

Create manifest.json with the following content

{
  "name": "BBC News",
  "description": "BBC World News",
  "version": "1",
  "manifest_version": 2,
  "icons": { "128": "bbc-icon-128.png" },
  "app": {
    "urls":[
             "http://www.bbc.com/news"
           ],
    "launch": {
             "web_url": "http://www.bbc.com/news"
           }
  }
}

I got this icon,

At chrome://extensions/, turn on Developer Mode, and click Load unpacked extension, locate the folder, that's it!
