RockMelt launches beta 3 of its Web browser with key integration and support from Facebook, one of the social networks it’s built around. Facebook June 14 finally gave the RockMelt social Web browser the time of day, some seven months after it launched to provide users an easy on ramp to the largest social network’s services. RockMelt launched last November backed by Web browser pioneer Marc Andreessen. RockMelt frames the browsing experience with people’s contacts from Facebook, tweet streams from Twitter and other Web content to keep users from having to switch back and forth between those applications. Facebook contacts appear along the left edge of the browser window after users log into RockMelt via their Facebook e-mail and password. The right side of RockMelt includes buttons for accessing the Facebook News Feed, Facebook Profile, Twitter tweet stream and timeline.
