Netscape Founder Backs New Browser

SAN FRANCISCO — It has been 15 years since Marc Andreessen developed the Netscape Internet browser that introduced millions of people to the Internet.  Skip to next paragraph     Phil McCarten/Reuters

Marc Andreessen is backing a start-up called RockMelt.

    Richard Drew/Associated Press

Marc Andreessen in 1996. Netscape was the dominant Web browser until Microsoft introduced Internet Explorer.

   


After its early success, Netscape was roundly defeated by Microsoft in the so-called browser wars of the 1990s that dominated the Web’s first chapter.
Mr. Andreessen appears to want a rematch. Now a prominent Silicon Valley  financier, Mr. Andreessen is backing a start-up called RockMelt, staffed with some of his close associates, that is building a new Internet browser, according to people with knowledge of his investment.
“We have backed a really good team,” Mr. Andreessen said in an interview earlier this summer. A moment later, Mr. Andreessen appeared to regret his comment, saying he was not ready to talk about any aspect of the company.
But Mr. Andreessen suggested the new browser would be different, saying  that most other browsers had not kept pace with the evolution of the Web, which had grown from an array of static Web pages into a network of complex Web sites and applications. “There are all kinds of things that you would do differently if you are building a browser from scratch,” Mr. Andreessen said.
RockMelt was co-founded by Eric Vishria and Tim Howes, both former executives at Opsware, a company that Mr. Andreessen co-founded and then sold to Hewlett-Packard  in 2007 for about $1.6 billion. Mr. Howes also worked at Netscape with Mr. Andreessen.
Little else is known about RockMelt, and Mr. Vishria was unwilling to discuss it.  “We are at very early stages of development,” Mr. Vishria said. “Talking about it at this stage is not useful.”
After Microsoft defeated Netscape, it controlled more than 90 percent of the browser market. Interest in browsers among technology companies waned and innovation ground to a halt. But in the last 18 months, the Internet browser has become a battleground again with giants like Google, Apple and Microsoft fighting one another.
The renewed interest in browsers is partly a result of the success of Mozilla, a nonprofit. The speedier, safer and more innovative Mozilla Firefox browser,  introduced in 2004, has grabbed 23 percent of the market, and Microsoft’s share has dropped to 68 percent.
But the latest battle was also prompted by a giant shift in computing that is increasingly making the Web, not the PC, the place where people interact with complex software applications.  Technology giants now see the browser as a control point to what users do online, and they want a say in shaping it.
In the last 18 months, Microsoft and Apple introduced greatly improved versions of their browsers, Internet Explorer and Safari. And Google entered the fray last fall when it released its Chrome browser. Last month, Google said it would build an operating system, also called Chrome, with its principal function being to support its browser.
“The days of working in isolation on your computer are mostly gone,” said John Lilly, the chief executive of Mozilla. “Because the Web has become so central to what we do, and the browser is the technology that mediates our interaction with the Web, the way the browser works is really important. There is a lot of room for innovation.”
Mr. Andreessen’s backing is certain to make RockMelt the focus of intense attention. For now, the company is keeping a lid on its plans. On the company’s Web site, the corporate name and the words “coming soon” are topped by a logo of the earth, with cracks exposing what seems to be molten lava from the planet’s core. A privacy policy on the site, which was removed after a reporter made inquiries to Mr. Vishria, indicates the browser is intended to be coupled somehow with Facebook. Mr. Andreessen serves as  a director of Facebook.
The policy says that a person  could use a Facebook ID to log into RockMelt, suggesting that the browser may be tailored to display Facebook updates and other features as users browse the Web. Another browser, Flock, based on Firefox, already incorporates feeds from social networking sites.
But RockMelt is not currently working with Facebook. “We are not aware of any details about RockMelt and its product,” said Brandee Barker, a Facebook spokeswoman.
In the interview  this summer, Mr. Andreessen  credited Mozilla with coming up with an economic model to support Web browsers. The organization has an agreement with Google that makes Google the standard home page when people start Firefox, and sends them to Google when they type something into the search box at the top of the browser. In 2007, Google paid Mozilla about $75 million for the alliance.
“Browsers today have a great business model,” Mr. Andreessen said.
But experts say a big challenge for any new Web browser could be distribution. Despite Google’s heavy promotion of Chrome, the browser has gained just 2 percent of the market.
“If anybody could do it today, one would imagine Google would be best positioned, and it is obvious they have made only meager gains,” said David B. Yoffie, a professor at the Harvard Business School, and the co-author of “Competing on Internet Time: Lessons From Netscape and Its Battle With Microsoft.”  Professor Yoffie said that aiming the browser at Facebook users could be a good strategy. “If you can get Facebook’s millions of users to think that this is a better way to do what they do on Facebook, that would be an opportunity to take advantage of,” he said.

RockMelt是一款網頁瀏覽器，以Chromium原始碼為基礎，由提姆·豪斯（Tim Howes，LDAP的發明者之一）及艾瑞克·維夏（Eric Vishria）成立的同名公司所開發，並獲得曾開發Netscape瀏覽器，目前為Facebook董事的馬克·安德瑞森（Marc Andreessen）資金贊助[1]。

RockMelt號稱將是首款整合「臉書」（Facebook）、微網誌「推特」（Twitter）等社交網站功能的社交瀏覽器[2]。2010年11月，展開封閉測試，僅有受邀使用者可以參與測試，但可逕行申請。

netscape的东西。。。有兴趣了。。


=====================我是分割线========================


Netscape創立者︰我會回來的！

還記得魔鬼終結者的經典名句︰「I'll be back」嗎？現在，元老級的瀏覽器Netscape創立者Marc Andreessen也震撼地說出這句話了！

(圖／擷自「RockMelt」官方網站)

雖然之前Netscape被微軟IE擠壓，接著又有Mozilla Firefox、蘋果Safari、Opera以及後繼興起的Google Chrome等瀏覽器持續競爭，終於被壓倒而宣佈不再更新。不過Marc Andreessen最近計畫將再新推一款瀏覽器－「RockMelt」捲土重來，並且計畫整合Facebook相關功能，讓網友可以直接透過瀏覽器更容易地進行線上社交活動。

目前「RockMelt」仍未正式開放下載試用，在目前正打得火熱的瀏覽器戰爭下，是不是可以再成功打下一片天地呢？讓我們拭目以待…
