In my own opinion,even if it doesn't necessary,it only means that a lot of people are trying to have something new. There's no bad about it.

 

I guess it has a good effect on the other hand. There's no harm in trying!

Their site is nice, the video is professionally edited, interesting presenter - I'm registering for the Beta and can't wait to see what it turns into.

At first I was thinkning why, but atleast they are trying to be different moving with the web. Looks good.

Haven't heard about this browser yet. Thanks for sharing. Will try it out.

What's new interesting features on this new browser?

No heard until now.

looks like it is a mod of chromium, sad how no one uses the original chromimium

Flock is another one that is competing with Rockmelt - Check it out lol http://flock.com/

RockMelt is pretty cool, the idea of a social browser is pretty neat in my opinion. I used it for like a week, then realised constantly having facebook and twitter open wasn't helping my uni workload! May go back to it at a later date.

 

I havn't tried Flock however, worth a try?

 

Take it easy,

I never got an invite

Flock is just a worse looking version of RockMelt, but they've apparently got a new version coming which may see some improvements.

looks pretty good

I finally got round to downloading RockMelt last night. Very impressed with it so far.

For those who haven't tried it, it's literally a replica of Chrome with some social sidebars. Quite neat, fast and I've had no problems with it.

 

It is a bit irritating that it connects to Facebook every time you start it and only loads after it's finished. There should really be a background task for that. Not such a problem for Mac users as there's no need to actually quit the application, but hitting the 'X' on Windows closes it entirely and will require a reconnect next time you open it.

 

It's fast, it's good, but I wouldn't say that it's finished. It's a bit 'hacky' at the moment.

Thought I would Share some screenshots. I also have some invites for rockmelt if anyone is interested

 

The facebook sidebar as an example.

 

 

The general browser.

 

 

Enjoy

Hmm.. I think it's nice! Although it does look like Chrome.. I guess it would worth a try!

I like the design of the browser, I hope I can get an invite.

Just started using it today and so far I'm really enjoying it. Ive got all my tech news sites along with a few business sites in the right hand bar that alert me when a new post is made, so that saves me a fair amount of time in refreshing pages. Also the built in Facebook chat is really nice.

 

Would defiantly recommend it

Already heard about that but not yet tried. Will try.

I've came here and listening to the new competition that browser. of course I will answer you back because I'm down for try it now

Gah reminds me of Flock... which IMHO was a terrible idea to hook into all the social networks direct via the browser. It was the new 'in thing' and flopped horribly.

 

These developers are better of just developing plug-ins instead of wasting their time. Fair enough if they bring something new to the table but all i see here is the same old tired "New" features.

 

Hopefully i am wrong and it is something new and refreshing but i wont hold my breath.

 

 

My IM client (Digsby) gives me Facebook and Twitter notifications. Don't need it in a browser.

I use tweetdeck occasionally lol

I use it, it's awesome!

idc what anyone says, im sticking with my best friend. FF

Not tried it but hasn't it got a toggle for that in the options somewhere? If not then...whoa...
