RockMelt and Facebook Integrate Deeper

You can manage your Facebook tasks like friend requests and messages right from Rockmelt’s top left corner.

Facebook and social browser, RockMelt have teamed up for even greater integration. You can already manage all your Facebook tasks like friend requests, notifications and messages from RockMelt. Now all of these will be organized on the top left corner of the browser, just like how Facebook has on its own site. Friend requests can be confirmed and messages can be typed up or replied to directly within the browser itself.

Facebook Chat has also been improved with the revamp of Friend Edge. Friend Edge is the feature that allows you to have your friends list along side your browser window. Friends Egde now offers an expandable view with your friends’ full names and pictures. You can even search the list for specific friends. You can scroll through the list and move it to the other side of your browser window if you prefer.

When you visit Facebook.com from RockMelt itself, all the redundancies like Friend Requests and Messages have been taken away. The website is a simpler website when viewed within the browser.

Paddy does not, we repeat, definitely does NOT belong in the category of Mac-head (yeh right!). She does get excited by her iPhone and her iMac and her iPod Nano and her Macbook and Bali's iPad and her future iHouse (patent pending). Ok, so maybe her head is a little bit forbidden fruit shaped. She likes shooting video (iPhone 4 camera zindabad!) and editing montages (Final Cut Pro zindabad!), whether the scene calls for it or no. In her spare time, she's either kicking it on stage with KB the keyboard or kicking butt at Taekwondo. see more
