Social Web Browsing with Flock

Posted on February 25, 2007 by Robert

Flock — the social web browser

With the web becoming more about individual expression and social networking with sites like the hugely popular MySpace, 43things, & Flickr, be able to quickly interact with them is now pretty easy with the Flock web browser.

I was introduced to Flock sometime ago and from what I remember it didn’t have all the added social networking features that you get now. It’s got quite a few nice features like being able to write a blog post to your own blog directly from the browser (which is how I’m doing this post), bulk upload and manage your Flickr photos, and I really love the RSS reader better than other browsers that I’ve used including Safari & Firefox.

The browser has a slight likeness to Firefox however it has been slowing getting it’s own theme with the current one giving you that nice warm and fuzzy feeling inside. It’s an interesting approach which I think with web 2.0 and social sites only gaining more popularity, then I’d imagine the future looks pretty bright for the Flock browser.

For social web interaction.. I give Flock the thumbs up.

    I’ve been using Flock for what seems like an age.

    When I first tried it out (well inside the earlier development builds) Flock showed promised, but crashed quite a lot.

    Now however, things are very different.

    I use Flock as my primary browser. It’s got (almost) everything I need.

    What with adding in my Del.icio.us account, as well as Flickr, I have at hand the stuff I need to keep track of my stuff.

    What I will say is, Flock has a sizable memory footprint, so my poor little iBook 500mhz (old, I know) struggles like mad.

    That aside, there’s still room for improvement, such as adding in folders to the Bookmarks toolbar and support for other social bookmarking tools, too.

    All in all, Flock is pretty good…
