Latest Version of Flock Browser is Amazing

I've been using flock as my browser for a while now. I have just downloaded the latest version (0.9) and it takes what was a good product into something really amazing.

What I like about it is that it integrates blogging and news reading into the browser.

That means you can quickly select text, pictures and whatever from a web site and put it together into a blog post.

I also like the way that flock handles news feeds which is miles ahead of opera's in my opinion.

Flock also integrates photo sharing through flickr and video sharing in YouTube.

Being based on the Mozilla engine means that it is standards compliant and reliable in its handling of web pages. It can also use firefox extensions and plug ins.

I was also impressed with the ease with which it automated the transfer of my settings from the previous version of flock. The only downside in this was that one of my extensions that I had installed was incompatible with the new version.

Anyway I'm very happy with flock and I recommend you have a look at it. www.flock.com

  3. For me, whenever Flock is trying to refresh my.opera tags during blog posting, it freezes for several seconds. Not a great annoyance, however. The bigger annoyance is to find which tag you are supposed to post under, instead of just entering the name of the tag.

  5. What I do is click "Publish" before it downloads the tags, then edit it afterwards.
