No, it's not my idea, it is the brainchild of Mark Andreessen, the founder of Netscape. The browser is called RockMelt and in the words of Andreesen, it "does more than just navigate Web pages. It makes it easy for you to do the things you do every single day on the Web: share and keep up with your friends, stay up-to-date on news and information, and search."
Why is this important? Because the domination of social networking is bringing about a tidal wave of change in the way we communicate. And that affects what we like, what we buy, what we recommend, what we read, etc. etc.
The Rockmelt browser is officially being announced today and we will see if it grabs market share from the other browser biggies. And rest assured that when it does, the other biggies will fall in line to make browsing a more intuitive social process.
