low on blogging, high on schwag

Friday, October 5th, 2007

sorry for the very low output on this blog lately, very much going on jobwise. hold tight for some news during october, mainly a new version of phptube (I’m planning to include support for deleting files from youtube) and a relaunch of the gapingvoid facebook-app (suggestions welcome).

oh, and thx to Evan from Flock, who has sent over a very nice package of Flockstar-schwag. appreciated! you might wanna try out the current beta of the social browser or sign-up for the soon-to come 1.0 beta-release (more on Flock here).

Flock 0.9 released!

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

Gecko-based web-browser Flock (Windows and Mac OS-binaries available) has been upgraded to version 0.9 earlier this week. 0.9 features even stronger integration with social web-services and blogging-tools than its predecessor - Flickr, Photobucket, YouTube, del.icio.us are supported out of the box, as well as most hosted & self-hosted blogging-tools. besides these well-known qualities, the Flock-team added numerous improvements to the user-interface.

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.
