Flock - the new must-have browser

Computing, Tech News No Comments »

Internet Explorer? Old and busted, Firefox? Ok I still use it, but Flock seems pretty sweet so far.  Right now there is a pre-beta release out, which is based on the Firefox code base.  The layout is very similar expect that Flock is labeled as a “social browser” - it can integrate with weblogs, phone sharing and other services on the web.

Some of the benefits that I like are:

  • Integrates with del.icio.us to manage bookmarks - they can be browsed directly from Flock without having to visit your del.icio.us page
  • Ability to have “collections” of favorites - if you are like me you have a crapload of favorites, being able to have collections for Work, Home etc is nice
  • Has support for publishing to WordPress, Movable Type, Typepad and Blogger blogs using a built in blog editor.  If you are browsing a page you want to blog about - Flock has a “Blog This” button
  • Built in Search - similar to Firefox but with more options - including IMDB
  • Automatically detects RSS feeds in your favorites
  • Supports extensions

In my opinion, it’s worth checking out - Click for a tour of Flock
