A hot internet browser that
needs a Facebook log on has been
unveiled, targeted squarely at social networking users.
Called RockMelt, it has been set up by Marc Andreessen, the founder
of Netscape .
Based upon Google's Chrome software package, Rockmelt is
designed to allow users share everything they do with the friends on
Facebook and Twitter.
"Today, the browser connects you to your world. Why
not build your world right into your browser?"
The web browser makes it particularly
smooth to share links with friends by dragging
pictures, URLs or videos onto one of the small photos,
known as 'edges' that line the browser's window.
Because you have to sign in prior to using Rockmelt, all of your
favourite web sites, blogs
and friends are listed when you log in.
The web browser alerts you when a new blog,
picture, or message appears on the sites you see the most, without you having to
exit the webpage you are currently on.
