Rockmelt would have died just as Flock did if Marc Andreessen (co-creator of Mosaic and co-founder of Netscape) wasn't the guy behind it...
Rockmelt is really nifty, though I'm not a huge fan of it being connected to my Facebook chat all of the time, so I hardly use it. I'm not sure if there's a way to disable that or not.. I use Pidgin to connect to the facebook chat.
