Firefox-1, Flock-0

Like I said in my previous post, I’ve been playing around with Flock.

So far, the only really useful feature I’ve found is this blog posting tool – which could use a spell checker, by the way. The Flickr bar, the shared bookmarks are all good features but I did not end up using them a whole lot. Shared bookmarks don’t preserve collections – when I sync bookmarks, I still have to move new entries into appropriate collections. This may be a limitation posed by del.icio.us bookmark format. Whatever it may be, its no better than importing exported bookmarks between Firefox installations.

So, to me Flock seemed more like a dressed up Firefox – and the get up is not compelling enough. Flock seems to be heading in the right direction, so I will probably check back with Flock in near future to see how its developing, but for now, Firefox is still my default browser on both windows and Mac.

Just started Flocking!

Just got hands on the developer preview of Flock! For those who are unaware, Flock is what they call a Social Browser built on top of the Gecko rendering engine used by a more known Mozilla Firefox.

This – posting a blog post – is one of the very first Flock feature I am using. I’ll probably use it to post many posts in the future, at least the ones about Flock!

Untill then… Cheers!
