Rockmelt Tips Blog

If you haven’t already updated to the latest version, you should do it, because this new release is packed with awesome new features, including…

More friends, more fun.  We have a new, awesome way to find your friends. When you browse with your friends, you’ll introduce them to great new stories, photos, or videos. When you wtf? something, they’ll see the story and your reaction in their feed. When they react to the same story, you’ll be notified! Browsing the internet is like playing football, it’s way more fun with friends (have you ever tried to throw a football to yourself? Didn’t think so).

So find your friends from Facebook, Twitter, or your contacts who are already using Rockmelt.  The “Find Friends” screen is under Settings > More.
