RockMelt

This is not a social network, but it is integrating all social networks together!

RockMelt is a new web browser.  For those of you who don't know, a browser is the thing that comes up and displays the sites you look at.  It kinda holds them.  Its where you hit the back button or type www. google.com, etc.  Example Browsers are Safari or Internet Explorer.

This new browser RockMelt is so new and exciting, it is changing everything.  You have to be invited, but its so easy to get an invite, just go to www.rockmelt.com and ask for one (you must have a Facebook to sign up) but in a few days check again and it will let you download it.


So whats so fun about this new browser? Along the right side of your screen it will allow you to put little App like buttons, and clicking on them you can see/update or post without actually going to the page.  On the left side it is similar, but with your friends, you can chat, post to their wall, or share the site your currently browsing without leaving it or opening a new tab. 

Facebook and twitter gives you real time updates, and most blogs, video sites, email accounts will let you put an app on the side. 

Convenience is the word for this new browser, and while many say it will be a big distraction, it can also be a really big help too.  It's only a distraction if you let it be one.
Watch the video to see for yourself, and don't forget to get the invite!
