*8/3/07 Edit - Some people have asked me what Flock is. Flock is considered a "Social Network Browser." Basically, it is an alternative to Internet Explorer or
Firefox. It just happens to have a bunch of cool bells and whistles.
Flock 0.9 was released the other day. Although a bit slow, I like the improvements. The new look is gorgeous. Integration between social networks has been tidied up a bit. And getting to the features of Flock has been made easier. A new feature that's pretty nifty is the "My World" page which incorporates your favorite bookmarks,
RSS feeds, and Media Favorites (such as
Flickr,
YouTube,
Photobucket, etc.). The ability to blog an article or picture directly from Flock still remains, as well as using del.icio.us to manage your bookmarks. Magnolia is available, too, but I haven't gotten a chance to mess around with it. Overall the new Flock is much improved, and I highly recommend it, as I rarely have a desktop to call my own. This way I don't have to actually go to any web pages to publish, watch, look, or pull up. Everything is integrated into one slick browser. Flock is still in Beta, so other than the speed deficiency, there are a few bugs still being worked out, but is very stable in
XP and OS X.
