Flock

On 3rd of November, I downloaded a new web browser called: Flock

Flock is heavily based upon Mozilla Firefox and other Mozilla technologies, and it is a cross-platform browser (Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux). The first things you will notice whne you install Flock are the side areas which displays different web services like: Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube. So that is why the creators of Flock call it a "Social Browser".

In addition to the social networking features, Flock has a number of other nice touches include:
  • Custom homepage, "My World", tells you when your friends have new photos and videos and when you have new feeds. My World gives quick access to your recently visited favorite sites as well.
  • Built in uploader, to submit content to Flickr and Photobucket.
  • Technorati tagging.
  • Blogging tools.
  • Facebook side bar.
  • Bookmarks, in addition to being saved offline, can be replaced with del.icio.us. When a bookmark (known as a favorite) is added, it is added to the user's del.icio.us account.


Meanwhile, I invite you to try it out for yourself. You may not be sufficiently persuaded to switch (and I’m not going to delete IE or Firefox from my hard disk quite yet), but I guarantee you’ll enjoy the experience!
