Mozilla experimented with Ubiquity, an in-browser tool for posting to different social sites and interacting with web services. There are a number of add-ons that can embed social networking dashboards into the browser for you. These tools have grown in popularity as we\u2019ve struggled to manage the ever-increasing flow of links, media and bits shared by our online friends.<\/p>\n<p>  So, the idea isn\u2019t original. And RockMelt doesn\u2019t sport a complete re-invention of the browser interface, either. But it is very streamlined, and there are some key elements that people who live and breathe the social web will find intriguing.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(via <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/epicenter\/2010\/11\/first-look-at-rockmelt-a-browser-built-for-facebook-freaks?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29\" title=\"Wired: First Look at RockMelt, a Browser Built For Facebook Freaks\">Wired<\/a><\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>Interesting.
