It is one reason why two years ago they started RockMelt, gets donation from financial organisations and Andreessen Horowitz employs a few people to help work on browser. The result is RockMelt finally launched and already available in beta version.
This is a brave moving by Tim Howes and Eric Vishria. They entered the market browsers which is dominated by Microsoft (Internet Explorer), Google (Google chrome), Mozilla (Firefox) and Apple (Safari). Tim Howes and Eric Vishria launch desktop browser, which works on Windows and Mac OS, in an era when the computer switch touch mobile devices. Such as quoted from Gigaom, Monday (8/11/2010).
Vishria and Howes said the reason they started the company is when the use of the website and the services used by people have changed, the browser itself hasn't changed so much. "Modern Website has evolved at one point, where the user requires a new browsing experience," said Vishria, CEO of RockMelt.
Vishria also argue that the average of the products in the browser market is the focus on minimal user experience, ease of navigation and speed. While focused by Rockmelt is about Web usability at the user; which focuses on social networking.
