Flock

From what i hear, im not the only one that is, well, flocking to flock. After recently downloading the browser, i have to say i am thoroughly impressed.


For those who don't know what is is, Flock is a internet browser built on Firefox technology.(supposedly it was made by people who worked on Firefox) It incorporates popular social networking add-ons and extensions from firefox, and combines them into an elegant application. It has a sidebar which tells you Facebook, Youtube, and Freindster friend updates. It also has your online favorites from del.icio.us (which im addicted to now) and magnolia. To add websites to del.icio.us or magnolia, all you have to do is click and drag the url from the navigation bar to the sidebar. A very nice addition.


You can even do the same to send links to your Facebook friends. Got a good YouTube video? click and drag it to the friend you want to send it to on the sidebar and val ah!
Asides from these add ons and ascetics, it is fundamentally the same as Firefox, and i haven't noticed any real difference in speed.


It also has on-click blog editor. There is a icon on the top of the browser that lets you write your blogs in a separate window, put your tags on it, then click a button to publish. After you enter your blog website log in i.d. once, all you have to do is choose which blog to upload it to and your done. The editor can hold what appears to be an unlimited number of profiles. (i already have 4 on it) This i have to say is my most used feature.


Like Firefox, it stores your log in and passwords to websites like Myspace and Hotmail, which after using once, can't imagine living without.
For me, and others who live on their blogs and social networking sites, the Flock browser is a must. With is ascetically pleasing interface and handy features, it makes bloging (which according to my spell check is in fact not a word) social networking, and overall internet browsing a breeze.
