Flock

[Kraft]

Has anyone but me heard of this?

It is a new web browser, similiar to firefox that is awesome if you are a connected guy and use a lot of facebook, digg, youtube, IM... etc applications.

http://www.flock.com/

Check it out!  I like it a lot better than firefox just because of the features in it and since it has a lot of little nifty things for the things mentioned above in it (like a media browser that gets everything off the page and shows it... same with youtube ^_^)

The only thing thing that I regret that it doesnt support in the media tab (although it might in the future) is devantart...  I mean, it all works, but not perfectly (photobucket works... look at that if you are curious)

Anyways, I tried this out because one of my uncles cousin (something like that ^_^) is the head designer and what not for it (his idea for the whole thing) and so I hear a lot about it and got the betas and stuff.

It only came out a few weeks ago, so it is fairly new.

Anyways, check it out and tell me what you think!

they're just using the same technology as firefox (actually it's the unbranded version of firefox, with some changes)

almost everything you can do with it, you can do also with firefox if you just take the time to add the correct plugins etc...

Flock is pretty cool, I used the beta for a while but I'm not into all that stuff so it did nothing for me.  But yeah it's based on the mozilla browser platform so it's going to be a solid browser even if the widgets are useless.  For general use I don't see the point though, it's a very niche app; that's the cool thing about open-source development, though.  In theory you can find the glove that fits best rather than buying the one-size-fits-all. : )
