Rock melt

Before you ask "What is Rock Melt is it a New chocolate bar ?" Well first of all it is not a new Chcolate bar but a new browser. 

To cover some of the geeky bits it is based on the Chromium platform, the same as Google's chrome browser. This means that it is secure continently updated and most of all fast. So what makes Rock Melt different to Chrome or any other browser. Well is was designed from the ground up to be social unlike other proser where social bits are added onto it. This creates a very clean and slick ui.  

The left hand coloum contains the facebook chat. I find the Facebook experience a  lot better that the website. That is a especial part of the browser while the website the chat semens as an add-on. while chatting to the person you also get the option to write on their wall. 
Another useful feature is the way you can post links form Rock melt. Where you find in most browsers the go button here you find a share button you can share it to face book or twitter the psot can be edited before you post it an the link is shortend automatically whci his a nice feature.

My favorite feature I saved to last is the right hand column. I love blogging and reading blogs and I love finding useful ways of viewing the feed and see whats going on. I have tried many options such as feed burner and the simple reason is that half the time I forget to run the program and when I run it again a few days later I get inundated with hundreds of new post. But with Rock Melt I have   my chosen feeds in the right hand column and I never  forget as i am always browsing.  

 

So there are the main features so what do I think:-

The bad Points:- Well this is my own opinion but I am not a masive fan of Facebook Most of the people I add I don't talk to anyway. This means that I find that this browser is too dedicated to Facebook. But apart from that I love it I think it needds some better inergration with my faviote social cilent Twitter 

But Apart form that I love this Browser it is quik all the social bits are well insergrated and it makes the whole exeperince with soical well worth the wait. Keep up the great work Rock Melt I love this new browser and I hope you do too. Find it at http://Rockmelt.com I have been @iova66
