Just a mere two weeks ago an amazing new development in web browsing was unleashed on the internet. If you felt a slight shockwave rest assured you will absolutely love the aftershock. It's called RockMelt.
The latest and greatest web browser is truly unique and useful. Not content to be just another way to browse the web, it offers users a completely new way to keep up on your social networks and blogs that's not only fun...it saves you time.
RockMelt is everything you like about Firefox, the speed of Chrome and the functionality of a smart phone. With a simple free download, users can install and quickly link their Facebook account to RockMelt - and within moments of setup you are instantly updated to EVERYTHING going on in your social circle on a single page.
RockMelt not only keeps tabs on your Facebook feed, but it even shows you which of your friends are currently online. Notice the graphic below. I am browsing MLS while also being kept up to date on my networks. On the left- hand side of the browser window, the profile pictures of some Facebook friends are shown. Next to each photo is a circle, the color of which can instantly tell you who is online, but also if they are active or just passively logged on. With one click users can engage in live IM chats (instant messaging, like a chat room).
The next graphic shows you how the social networks integrate right into the right hand side of the browser window. The numbers you see indicate new things that have happened on my various social networks.
In addition to this, with a single click users can also view updates from any of their chosen networks , view others updates and even leave comments and "likes" (a feature of Facebook).
RockMelt users can also update their own social networks from the browser window (as seen below) without ever having to actually visit the website and login. This is great news for folks who normally browse the net with several windows open at the same time - because this feature allows you to be logged in to your favorite networks without actually having any windows opened. If you normally visit, say....your favorite blog, Facebook and Twitter (in additional to the pages you use for "actual work") - you know can accomplish the same thing without opening any windows at all.
Also integrated within RockMelt is a handy "Share" button which allows you to post anything you find while browsing to your social networks as well...Not just individually but ALL AT ONCE - which again saves you time.
Another great feature built into RockMelt, is RockMelt's ability to help you find websites you already check - which might be compatible with the RockMelt update system. This means any website with an RSS feed (and even some without) can be added to RockMelt. In the graphic below you will notice that new networks can be added manually, or by simply showing a list of recent sites the user has visited - which with a single click can be added to the list of items the user wishes to be kept up to date on.
Just like Faceboook, small windows will pop up to give you a sneak peek at the newest updates in real time. This important feature allows you to actually accomplish legitimate work while also on Facebook. An office workers dream! An example of this is shown below:
All in all RockMelt is not only impressive but it simply makes sense. Why spend the valuable time logging in and visiting each and every blogs or social network you follow? Check out RockMelt, and do it all with on convenient and user friendly program.

*Please note that while our local area MLS (SOMLS) appears to work fine in the RockMelt browser, it is still recommended to use IE or Firefox with most MLS browser to ensure full system functionality and report capabilities.
Happy browsing!
