Rockmelt: Discover the Best of the Internet, News & Blogs

Rockmelt has discontinued development on the desktop version of its social browser and pivoted to release a new Web version of its social feeds and a redesigned iPhone app with @mentions and hashtags....

Когда Rockmelt оглашала идею создать социальный браузер для смартфонов, который будет доступен большому количеству людей, все предполагали, что версия Android появится первой и почти готова к релизу....

Can you do it with one thumb or not?” That’s how Rockmelt co-founder Tim Howes tells me his startup decided what needed to change as it translated its iPad web browser app to the smaller iPhone screen. You’ll still scroll through reams of stories from your favorite sites instead of hunting them down. But you won’t have to reach for the back button thanks to new gestures like swipe-left-to-close.

RockMelt, the social web browser, released its first app for the iPad on Thursday, which blends web search functions into a news reader application.

Surfing the Internet can feel like you’re running in circles, constantly checking your favorite sites for updates. The RockMelt team believes that content should be delivered, not hunted, so its new browser app for iPad is built around a stream instead of a blank window.
