E.g. you bookmark a search result, assign a shortcut (keyword) and instead of the search term you put in %s. It allows you to perform searches by typing the shortcut followed by the search term into the address bar. Right-clicking any search bar in firefox gives you the option to save this search to your bookmarks as search bookmarklet. It's a quite powerful feature which I use most of the time...

Regarding API: We agree with you, and we're currently building an API to, as you said, allow "developers to snap in their web-services". We're starting with the Blog Editor and Feed Reader, but we intend to do this for all our major features. No ETA yet, but news will be posted on www.flock.com/blog Regarding extensions: We're going to be gradually contacting many extension developers to ask them to add Flock 0.9 to their .rdf. Glad you're enjoying Flock...things are only going to get more exciting as the year progresses! Flock on, Evan Hamilton Flock Community Ambassador evan at flock dot com Hey Michael,
