New browser combines web search with Facebook

London: A new internet browser that requires a Facebook log-in has been unveiled, aimed squarely at social networking users.

Called RockMelt, it has been set up by Marc Andreessen, the founder of Netscape .

Based on Google's Chromium software, Rockmelt is designed to let users share everything they do with the friends on Facebook and Twitter.Down the side of each web page visited is a selection of each user's most-used Facebook Friends and Twitter contacts, reports the Daily Mail.A statement on the firm's blog read: "With RockMelt, we've re-thought the user experience, because a browser can and should be about more than simply navigating Web pages.

"Today, the browser connects you to your world. Why not build your world right into your browser?"

The browser makes it particularly easy to share links with friends by dragging pictures, URLs or videos onto one of the small photos, known as 'edges' that line the browser's window.Because you have to sign in before using Rockmelt, all of your favourite sites, blogs and friends are listed when you log in.The browser alerts you when a new story, video, or post appears on the sites you visit the most, without you having to leave the webpage you are currently on.

However, the fact that a user's entire web search history, friends and favourite sites are known by RockMelt, will alarm those wary of handing over personal information to tech firms.The firm claims that this browsing information will not be sold to advertisers.

"We are not going to run an ad network. We actually don't know where you go," co-founder Tim Howes told website TechCrunch . "That information does not leave your browser."

The way you search on the internet is also different with RockMelt. Instead of a whole page of search results from Google , only the first 10 results come up, displaying the web page of each result before you click on it.

4 Free Apps For Discovering Great Content On the Go

1. StumbleUpon The granddaddy of discovering random cool stuff online, StumbleUpon will celebrate its 10th anniversary later this year — but its mobile app is less than a year old. On the web, its eight million users have spent the last decade recommending (or disliking) millions of webpages with a thumbs up / thumbs down system on a specially installed browser bar. The StumbleUpon engine then passes on recommendations from users whose interests seem similar to yours. Hit the Stumble button and you’ll get a random page that the engine thinks you’ll like. The more you like or dislike its recommendations, the more these random pages will surprise and delight. Device : iPhone , iPad , Android 2. iReddit Reddit is a self-described social news website where users vote for their favorite stories, pictures or posts from other users, then argue vehemently over their meaning in the comments section. In recent years, it has gained readers as its competitor Digg has lost them.

‘Wireless’ humans could backbone new mobile networks

People could form the backbone of powerful new mobile internet networks by carrying wearable sensors. The sensors could create new ultra high bandwidth mobile internet infrastructures and reduce the density of mobile phone base stations.Engineers from Queen’s Institute of Electronics, Communications and Information Technology are working on a new project based on the rapidly developing science of body-centric communications.Social benefits could include vast improvements in mobile gaming and remote healthcare, along with new precision monitoring of athletes and real-time tactical training in team sports, an institute release said.The researchers are investigating how small sensors carried by members of the public, in items such as next generation smartphones, could communicate with each other to create potentially vast body-to-body networks.The new sensors would interact to transmit data, providing ‘anytime, anywhere’ mobile network connectivity.Simon Cotton from the i
