Does RockMelt (a new social browser coming tomorrow) have the right startup philosophy? CEO Eric Vishria and CTO Tim Howes of RockMelt invited me over on Friday to see a new browser.
Who is behind this? Marc Andreessen. The guy who started Netscape. He, and a bunch of other interesting people are investors in this company. In this video you’ll see what makes this browser different. After all that, I’m left with the question: does this startup have the right philosophy? Why am I wondering that? 1. That is a LOT of change to ask people to do and it’s a lot to ask early adopters to overlook. Late adopters usually change their behavior only after getting hounded by early adopters.
Already I’m watching reactions on Twitter and most of the advanced user types are wondering whether this is like Flock (another social browser most of them have ignored) and some, like Rafat Ali, say that this is the worst of Silicon Valley bubbleisms. Why is there such a negative reaction? Change is hard, but there’s something else: advanced users have a framework of WHERE they’ll accept change. Be - RockMelt - Your Browser. Re-Imagined.
