Flock Developer Preview Available
I try not to use this blog to talk about things other than work. However, since I feel this has a tangental relationship to the type of work I do, I thought I’d post it here. I’m very excited about the new browser on the block called Flock.
Here are a couple reasons why, if you’re like me, I guarantee you’ll be impressed where Flock is headed:
- It’s built on the Mozilla/Firefox codebase. That means no worries about having another browser to test for when developing for the web.
- If you have a del.icio.us account, Flock will connect to it. Meaning no more importing or losing all your precious bookmarks on a system failure.
- You can blog directly from the browser instead of having to work within your blog app framework. It isn’t too special right now, but once the plethora of blogging extensions hit, look out.
- Direct access to Flickr. See above.
If you like Firefox, you’ll love Flock. It’s all of the goodness of Firefox with a twist of social application goodness.
Go on, download it already!
