It seems that many social networking sites these days are focusing less on originality and more on trying to outdo each other. It’s rare that a truly revolutionary idea comes along. The new web browser RockMelt is hoping to rectify that by combining some of the biggest buzzwords on the internet today.For one thing, RockMelt backs up all your information to the cloudthe shared software, information, and processing power accessed and located on the Internet. This means that you’ll never be in danger of losing your settings or bookmarks. It also means that your choices will help RockMelt create a better browsing experience for you, regardless of your location: RockMelt is connected to your Facebook, so when you log into Facebook, your personal RockMelt experience will also be reproduced.RockMelt is also built off of the same open source code as Google Chrome, known as Chromium. While some similarities to Google’s product can be seen, RockMelt features two unique columns, one on each side of the browser. The left side features your most frequently used Facebook contacts. Click on one and you’ll have the option to chat with them, post to their walls, or send e-mail. On the right side you’ll find your bookmarks, updated from the cloud.If this all sounds inviting to you (and it should), visit www.rockmelt.com for an invitation, or to watch a video of the browser in action. And if you like it, tell your friendsafter all, social networking is 1/3 of what RockMelt is all about.
