RockMelt Social Media Browser? I'm in!

Remember when Netscape Navigator was the browser of choice?  This was way before Google, Facebook, and Twitter.  This was when America Online (aka AOL) was the preferred portal and AltaVista, Yahoo!, and ICQ were major players in the internet scene.

Netscape founder Marc Andreessen is back and wants to challenge Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and even Safari in the browser wars.  Andreesen is backing a Silicon Valley start-up called RockMelt.  You can sign up for an invitation to use the new browser which is focused on social media.  I connected with Facebook to get the invitation and I should be getting it in e-mail within the next few days.

I like trying out new technologies before it is released to the general public.  I loved Gmail when it was in its early days of beta.
