Forgot all about Flock, didn't you? (Yeah, me too.)

Though when the first alpha was released Flock was pretty easy to dismiss as, well, alpha software, the new beta looks compelling, with speed and stability improvements, lots of new features for photo management, feed-reading, search, favorites, and blogging.

The flickr/photobucket + blogging integration is nice, but whether you need a whole browser for all this is questionable...one big bug is that none of the services work through a proxy and it won't get fixed till the final release.
