Vysr – RoamAbout is back with more exciting apps

June 4, 2008 1 comment

RoamAbout is back with more exciting apps, this time it is open for public.

RoamAbout is a Browser plugin, i guess this is the only plugin which comes for both Firefox and IE. RoamAbout allows you to browser through the web carrying whatever you want, you can carry around all web services as required and just play with them. It is really easy to use web 2.0 product.

Vysr Launches new apps for RoamAbout which is categorized as Business and Social Pack.

Business pack

  1. Wikipedia
  2. Market watch
  3. News
  4. Share it

Social Pack

  1. Flickr
  2. Twitter – i love this
  3. You tube
  4. Games

And apart from this, there are other misc services too like weather, chat etc. RoamAbout roams about the concept of Contextual Browsing. It is a DOM Overlay, where in it allows the user to browse as well as use the apps, which i have never seen anywhere before.

Top 3 things which i like about RoamAbout:

  1. DOM overlay, compared to annoying window pop-ups, this gives you a wonderful experience, which allows you to browse and use.
  2. Wikipedia – Instead of going to wikipedia every time, this is really helpful for me
  3. Youtube/Flickr – No reason.. i just love them

One thing that can make RoamAbout more better is, if the services Overlay is made movable, then it would be really amazing and it gives a great user experience. Check out the video DEMO covered by Scobleizer
