Cnet: Little has been known about stealth start-up RockMelt except that it's a browser, specifically (and yet ambiguously) a "Facebook browser," and it's backed by browser godfather Marc Andreessen. Well, now RockMelt has crept out of the woodwork into a limited beta for Mac and Windows, and the world can get a peek at it.
The social web browser, RockMelt, has announced that they have entered into a partnership with Facebook. Even though Facebook has not contributed with any money, they have assisted in adding 31 new features to the browser. Facebook initiated the project, and has provided substantial development resources.
It's a niche browser, like Flock was, Flock is now dead...
It has become very popular among young users. Still, they only have couple of hundred thousand users. But, that may soon change ;)
Great social browser if you are someone who lives in the social media world or are a Facebook addict.
Pocket-Lint: After 2 years of development the social-network based browser, RockMelt, has landed in private beta mode.
The browser, which is based on the open source Chromium platform (of which Google's Chrome is built), is aimed squarely at web users who spend a lot of their online time connecting with their various networks.
