The days of keeping multiple browser tabs open as you jump between websites is over, says Vysr chief executive Guda Venkatesh. The Palo Alto, Calif. startup is launching RoamAbout — its platform for online services that can be used anywhere online — in public testing mode today. The service works within Firefox by opening up a new window within another window (kind of like picture-in-picture on a TV), rather than opening up a new browser after clicking on a link. Users can open a menu that provides them with a range of services that can interact with any web page: reusable registration, maps and directions (see screenshot below), connecting to social networks and more. The idea, says Venkatesh, is to create a web experience that’s “user-centric,” rather than “site-centric” — in other words, you shouldn’t have to leave a web page to access the extra services and information that you want.
