Is it a bird, is it a plane, no it’s a…flock?
Flock is a Mozilla based web browser that integrates the sharing of photos, news and blogging into the browser interface.
The browser lets you easily drag and drop to share videos, text or links and is equipped to keep you up to date with your contacts from Facebook, MySpace, Flickr, Twitter, etc; while also allowing easy subscriptions and management of RSS feeds. From the browser you are able to track information from friends including status updates.
Other features include a powerful web search toolbar that provides a quick results and a quick glance at the most relevant results.
The web browser doesn’t have many extensions, but users are able to use the add-ons from Firefox as this is a Mozilla development.
What makes it different to other browsers?
Flock is an ideal browser for keeping you up to date with your online social contacts. It currently supports Facebook, Twitter, LiveJournal, Flickr, Photobucket, del.icio.us, WordPress, Movable Type, Blogger and other online services, as well as any RSS feed.
Will Flock overtake other browsers?
It’s unlikely. Flock is better as a secondary browser to keep in touch with friends rather than a main web browser. That’s not to say it’s a bad browser, it may just be a bit too much for general internet browsing.
