Does the world need a new browser? Yes!
few weeks ago, virtually out of nowhere, a new browser has emerged. Rockmelt tries to be a "Facebook-browser" to establish - and keep the promise.
If the user has logged into his Facebook log in Rockmelt, his profile photo appears in the upper left corner of the browser and a list of friends is displayed below in small windows.
There are applications that have become so commonplace, to which we have become so accustomed that seem so advanced that no one really expected more big changes. E-mail programs such as. Or Web browser. Of which there are indeed numerous, but share the big four (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari) the market more or less stable at -, and are similar in terms of functions, more and more.
more surprising that a few weeks ago appeared out of nothing a new browser and talked about making. He draws attention to himself because he can claim takes to be the best browser for those who spend much time on Facebook or twitter like and often. So for a lot of people. Rockmelt he calls himself, stone melt, and does not try first to establish itself as a "Facebook-browser." Since there are, for example, has long Flock (www.flock.com, for Windows, OS X and Linux) from which, however, hardly anyone has heard.
Facebook fitted sent
Rockmelt other hand, uses not only the "heavy-Facebooker," he stressed, the largest of all social networks also sent in order to make himself known. Still, it gives it that is invite only, you can either get on the Rockmelt home page (and after about a week) is replaced or which one gets from one of his Facebook friends. Who tried Rockmelt must, namely to pass on invitations. And may, for a moment feel part of a select group - sent threaded social marketing.
If things still do not value these lines, because the world is so far, so good with browsers supplies. Remarkably Rockmelt because he's generous promises not only at first glance, but still holds after two weeks. The writer of these lines has now even made it to its default browser - which has long made no more new browser (Chrome last, but only temporarily).
round and thought
Unlike other browsers, primarily the narrow side strips are in the browser window. Links will ever permanently displayed as desired the closest Facebook friends or those who are online. Sun chats, news, or the newest entries are always just a click away, no matter which site you surf straight. On the right side in turn allows the Twitter timeline, and any RSS feeds stored as small buttons, the contents are also always available with just one click. Also can be any site that you just open post to Facebook and Twitter as a link. All these functions are
existed in one form or another as extensions for the popular browsers, but as round and well thought out as Rockmelt it has not yet experienced. Alone improved the Facebook chat, in which a separate small window will open, one would miss no more soon.
More distraction Granted, there is a risk of further increase in information overload and the even stronger permanent distraction. Who can handle it but should have Rockmelt his joy. Whether the new, the chrome-based browsers, behind the former Netscape folks stand against the established competitors can claim, is open. After all, there exists no complete halt, and none of the functions of Rockmelt could not be sometime soon take over from others. The still large market share of Internet Explorer also shows that many users are satisfied with what they have, or see a transition as an expense and risk.
