Flock

Flock is my new favourite web browser. It’s neat, pretty, elegant and handy. It’s like Firefox with a utility belt.

The developers of Flock say:

“Flock is a consumer Internet business which has developed a free, next generation web browser. The web, and the way people engage online, has evolved dramatically over the past decade. But web browsers – the application that fundamentally enables online experiences and services across ones’ connected life – have not kept pace.

“Flock is focused on fundamentally evolving the browser, bringing a refreshing new approach to how people use and participate on the web and simplifying social and web-based applications by bringing them one step closer to the user and integrating them directly into the browser.
“When using Flock, people can easily discover, access, create and share videos, photos, blogs, feeds and comments across social communities, media providers, and popular websites.”

However, my dad keeps finding little things to criticize about it. He says the RSS feeds are a little broken. He wants it to only show him the one’s he hasn’t seen yet. But it won’t. I don’t really read RSS feeds, so I suppose Flock is better depending on your needs.

For instance, I’m writing this blog in Flock, using the blog writey thing that lets me blog without being on my site. You sign in and type away. It’s more basic than the Wordpress editor, but good for if you get a ’spur of the moment’ idea.

Another blog-related tool that comes with Flock is the ‘Blog This’ option. You can select some text, right-click and click on ‘Blog This’. This opens up the Flock blog editor with the text pasted into it. Awesomeness…
