Online, June 16, 2011 (Newswire.com) - According to ePathChina reports, since the launch of RockMelt social browser, it is known as the unofficial Facebook browser. Facebook chat, share and status updates are built in the browser. And now Facebook officially become a partner of RockMelt, the preliminary results of their cooperation can be seen in the RockMelt 3 launched yesterday.
RockMelt is still a stand-alone browser, and has only hundreds of thousands of active users. Facebook give no investment to it, no intention to help it promote and distribute the browser, at least initially. But Facebook's product team is working closely with RockMelt to ensure that the browser features are easy to use.Informed sources from China discount electronics store ePathChina quoted RockMelt CEO Eric said: "Our cooperation is based on a common belief that social networking should like navigation and search, become one of the basic functions of a browser."
RockMelt 3 has some new features. First, on the RockMelt 3, you can move the Facebook friends list from left of the browser to the right. And now you also can scroll through the friends list, you can expand it to see the full name of a friend, not just see the photos.
The second new feature is Facebook reminders, messages and friend requests,they can now be seen at the top of RockMelt. When received a new reminder, a friend request or a message, you can see them appear in the top of the browser, then you can pop up a window to read them.
RockMelt now integrates Facebook's unified messaging system. So if your contact is online, it will open a chat window. If the person is not online, it will revert to the Facebook message style.
When you visit Facebook.com, RockMelt will know, and automatically strip off some features on Facebook.com, because these features are already part of the browser. Therefore, on the Facebook page, a notice disappeared, because it now has become RockMelt function. When you are on Facebook.com, a friend wants to chat with you, RockMelt version of Facebook Chat will open a chat window, instead of two windows overlapping each other (this has happened before).
So far as bulk wholesale cheap electronics ePathChina statistics show, RockMelt did not grow as hype as the initial expectation. After the beta on March, RockMelt appeared modest growth, but a relatively high degree of user involvement. Facebook's recognition will help its development.
