Flock: the "social web browser" with built-in blogging, Flickr, del.icio.us and more
by Jordan Running Aug 16th 2005 at 11:23PM
I've been seeing a lot of web sites like the Flock home page, lately, the kind which seem to hint at something cool going on, somewhere, that we might get to actually see a bit of, sometime. Blogger Roland Tanglao, however, knows what Flock is: it's a new web browser based on Firefox, which integrates drag-and-drop blogging, Flickr photo posting (also drag-and-drop), and bookmarks powered by del.icio.us. I'm hesitant to get excited about this, as it could turn out to be a disaster, but on the off-chance that it's done well, I think it could be fantastic.

Considering that the 0.2 private beta we shipped not too long ago had about two months of work in it suggests that 0.3 is going to be leaps and bounds better than 0.2. I can personally attest to this -- as we'll be smoothing out *a lot* of the early bugginess and making the blogging feature a whole lot slicker.
Watch for something new from us in October.
