About
Rockmelt, Inc. was a software company founded in November 2008 by Eric Vishria and Tim Howes with backing from Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen. Headquartered in Mountain View, California, the company developed a proprietary social media web browser built on the Google Chromium engine that integrated Facebook chat, Twitter notifications, and content feeds directly into the browser interface. It launched in private beta in November 2010 and pivoted to a social news reading application for mobile in April 2013. Yahoo acquired Rockmelt on August 2, 2013 for a reported $60-70 million, shutting down all Rockmelt apps on August 31, 2013.
