The ‘Social Web Browser’ Flock Hits Primetime
Just released, Flock promises to give a Browser experience that integrates social browsing. Tools and services such as Twitter, Facebook, and Wordpress become “integrated” services to the browser. The Browser is based on the same engine as Firefox and should render with similar results (your mileage may vary).
I downloaded and have done the 30 minute test. You will see additional items in the side bar for things like favorites, services, feeds, and media upload. For the most part it seems to work. I tested using a few Firefox add-ons that I can not live without such as foxmarks and Stumble. On my second setup the foxmarks add-on did not work properly. Wired indicated issues with other add-ons as well. I was able to use the media browser and media upload feature and both are nice additions. Again I had about some issues with this on my second install.
This Wordpress post is from the blog tool. To bad I could not add images.
Overall impression is that it is worth a try if you make use of many Web 2.0 services, but it is a 1.0 product.
