Unboxing RockMelt

There had been a big fuss about RockMelt – apparently a new kind of browser which puts social media as first class citizen, so I thought I register and see what the fuss is all about.

A few days later, I finally got the invite, and clicking on the link in the email takes me to the download page which shows the whole RockMelt team. neat!

Double clicking on setup.exe, a few minutes later, I’m prompted with facebook login.

RockMelt wants quite abit of permissions.

And finally the browser. So I can share within RockMelt I guess.

And Chat …

Of course search …

And read “news” – if you can call Facebook and Twitter as news

Upon first glance it’s like a regular chrome with some crazy plugins on its sides, let me give it a couple of days before sharing my thoughts about it.
