RockMelt Web Browser…


Ok, so simply put RockMelt is another Web Browser, but it’s not just any Web Browser, in its own little ways, its unique. Based upon the Google Chromium Source (it looks like Google Chrome), RockMelt is what Social Networking addicts have been looking for.
It seamlessly integrates with Twitter and Facebook, allowing you to shout to the world your every status, update and tweet simply. It even hosts your Facebook chat list on the left hand side at all times allowing you to keep in constant contact with your friends no matter what site you’re on.
Here’s a quick intro to the Browser by its founder:
You definitely get the Google Chrome feel off of its interface, but this isn’t in anyway a bad thing, especially considering Chromes growing popularity. Good news: RockMelt is also available on Mac’s, [sorry Linux user, not your chance yet.] RockMelt has all the Google chrome features allowing you use extensions plus its own Facebook and twitter components.
The sad part, RockMelt is only available under invitation as its still in Beta testing, but you can get an invite off someone that already uses RockMelt, I have 3 to give away at the moment, or you can connect via Facebook and wait for your invite there.

That being said, I consider this a negative, RockMelt should think about growing its social networking experience and growing beyond just Facebook and Twitter.
But apart from that, RockMelt is pretty fantastic if not ridiculously distracting, building itself upon one of my favourite browsers and then adding extensions that just make things that little bit easier, particularly if you find yourself signing up to a lot of RSS feeds too.
I don’t know if RockMelt will become one of my more prominent browsers but I’m willing to give it a try, it is still in Beta testing after all. Given the chance to grow this could become huge, so give it a go, see how it suits your Social Networking Addiction.

RockMelt does so much more than I mentioned, the full tutorial can be found on the browser after you’ve installed it, Enjoy testing it out and it can be found here:
If you want me to Hook you up with a invitation, comment below or else connect and sign up to receive and invite view Facebook from their Website: I’d like to thank Brian W. for pointing towards this browser and for his invite into the world of RockMelt.
