Flock: a browser for the cloud generation

Posted on Friday, April 25th, 2008. Filed under Social Networking and Bookmarking, Technology.

If you, like me, increasingly get the feeling that your world is moving onto the web with Google Apps, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail and other online applications taking over your media, communications and productivity, then you’ll appreciate Flock – a browser designed for the cloud computing generation.

Flock is based on the Mozilla engine (like Firefox) and has added functionality that is compatible with web applications such as Flickr, Blogger and the other services I mentioned above. It then incorporates these into its interface with a dynamic sidebar that allows you to communicate with friends, blog, post to Twitter, share media and conduct a myriad other activities from the browser panel. It also has a ‘My World’ sidebar display that offers you updates from all of your social networks and applications in one, unified space.

While Flock is still a little buggy at time of writing, it is definitely stable enough for daily use. This browser is my killer app at the moment. Simply awesome. And the best part of it is I don’t need to waste time using third party applications that interface with my favorite online applications – I have everything I need, right in my browser.
