Andreesen Offers New Browser 'Rockmelt'
DrHeasley writes "Rockmelt, available for the first time Monday, is built on the premise that most online activity today revolves around socializing on Facebook, searching on Google, tweeting on Twitter and monitoring a handful of favorite websites. It tries to minimize the need to roam from one website to the next by corralling all vital information and favorite services in panes and drop-down windows. 'This is a chance for us to build a browser all over again,' Andreessen said. 'These are all things we would have done (at Netscape) if we had known how people were going to use the Web.'"
Since the whole point seems to be Facebook and Twitter integration into the interface, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that they aren't targeting the tin-foil hat brigade.
Yeah, I saw that, dickwad. What does that mean? How do I find out what that means without downloading and installing software? Flock's web page is spectacularly unhelpful when it comes to these basic (and I would think very common) questions.
Seriously, their website doesn't seem to include an overview of the browser's features. That's just stupidity.
