Flock: Social Browser

Day one of testing the latest stable release (1.1.2) of the Flock browser. It markets itself as a social browser, integrating various social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and LiveJournal. I tried an earlier beta version last year – on my PC – and while I found it to be promising, I still preferred the standard Mozilla Firefox browser. Well, look, I’m giving it another go!

At the moment, I’m using their built-in ‘Blog Post Editor’ that lets me write to both my domain blog and my LiveJournal. Other features I’m going to try: the Twitter, Flickr and Facebook toolbar and Flickr photo updater. The only gripe I have right now is knowing that these integrative features will never fully replace the actual application and sites – it’s still relatively limited. For example, I still have to login to Wordpress to make use of features like tagging. But for simple purposes, quick updating is certainly useful.
