RockMelt, the new social networking browser

RockMelt browser is made for online activity in social networking, combining information on Facebook, Google, Twitter, and other favorite websites into a single page. This Browser is created by Marc Andreessen, the creator of Netscape.

CALIFORNIA- Does the world need a new browser again? Tim Howes and Eric Vishria think so. 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.

Vishria and Howes says that everything is about time. Thanks due to the increasing penetration of broadband, rising cloud-based services and the adoption of the mainstream of social services of Facebook and Twitter. "The browser itself need to be socialized," said Howes.

"Most people communicate with their friends and only a few to check out some of the sites. Now we make it easier for them to stay connected and informed, "said Vishria. RockMelt is integrated into Facebook, Twitter and other social networking services into the browser. At the same time, RockMelt makes it easier to add news feeds and other information sources.

RockMelt is based on Chromium (open source project behind the browser Google Chrome), requires the user to sign-in using your Facebook account. So already log-ins, users can add your favorite friends and favorite news feeds on the left side of the right of the browser.

I've Learned

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved.
The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people just don't care back.
And it's not the end of the world.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust,
and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life,
but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes.
After that, you'd better know something.

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself
to the best others can do,
but to the best you can do.
I've learned that it's not what happens to people,
It's what they do about it.
I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it,
there are always two sides.
I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned that you can keep going
long after you think you can't.

I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
When it needs to be done
regardless of the consequences.
I've learned that there are people who love you dearly,
but just don't know how to show it.
I've learned that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't five me the right to be cruel.
I've learned that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.
I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to
doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

I've learned that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken,
the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean that they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.

I've learned that sometimes you have to put the individual
ahead of their actions.
I've learned that two people can look at the exact same thing
and see something totally different.
I've learned that no matter the consequences,
those who are honest with themselves get farther in life.
I've learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours
by people who don't even know you.
I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give,
when a friend cries out to you,
you will find the strength to help.

I've learned that writing,
as well as talking,
can ease emotional pains.
I've learned that the people you care most about in life
are taken from you too soon.
I've learned that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice
and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
I've learned to love
and be loved.
I've learned...
