flock public beta released

as mike arrington announcend earlier, first public beta (v0.7) of firefox-based browser flock was released today. for it’s seamless integration of several webservices, flock is supposed to be the “web 2.0″-browser of choice:

  • flock fetches images of flickr- and photobucket-accounts, and furthermore allows drag&drop of images into html-areas (f.e. comment-boxes on blogs, user-profiles)
  • social-bookmark-services delicious and Shadows are fully integrated into the browser, replacing local bookmarks
  • flock’s powerful cut&paste clipboard simplifies blogging with Blogger, MoveableType, Wordpress and other tools.
  • RSS-reader included

agreed, most of these features are available as firefox-extensions in some way, but Flock stands out with it’s polished userinterface and is definitely worth a try for everyone using at least two of these webservices.

thx 4 your comment(s), appreciate! :)

I have been using the developer-version of flock for quite a time on my mac, and must say it’s in no way slower than firefox on the same machine (maybe even a bit quicker, but maybe thats because my firefox is loaded with a bulk of extensions). hmm, ok, safari still might be a bit faster.

anyway, the blogging-,social-bookmark and -picture-features are really great, and the user-interface is gorgeuos as well…

[...] If you’re a Mac user and haven’t been intrigued by Firefox or more lately by Flock, I also recommend checking out the Safari Enhancer for a better user-experience with Apples own browser. [...]
