‘Rockmelt’ – The New Social Browser Released!

     This Monday, RockMelt released its beta version, with the angle that it's the most personalized browser experience available. It is acknowledged as social browser. To set up the browser, the user has to log in to their Facebook account, which makes the left-hand margin of the window a personalized map of available Facebook contacts. On the other hand, the right margin emphasizes more on Twitter, and the user can instantly share their current website, which they're browsing in the main window, through either platform with a "share" button. 
     Tim Howes, co-founder of this new web-browser announced "At RockMelt we are reinventing the browser for the way people use the Web today, we think this has changed dramatically from the way people used it just a few short years ago. But all the browsers available today, although they've gotten a lot faster, are still just about navigating web pages. We built features into the browser to address people's three top browsing behaviors: interacting with friends, consume news and information, and searching."

     More interestingly, RockMelt has used the same technology to build the browser, which was used making Google Chrome, believed to be the current prototype in speed and ingenuity of web-browsing. For a Lehman, this technology, titled Chromium technology, means that it's really fast. Pages load when your search results appear, so the user skips loading time for each individual page.
