Flock — a Silicon Valley based comapny—started with the release of a “developer version” of its Firefox based browser. On Tue, June 13th, they have released their first public beta version, for Windows, Mac and Linux platform, at Flock.com. I’ve been using Flock, rigth from the very begining and I would say, it is the Best.
Flock is based on Mozilla, the developers at Flock ’ve built additional features to the core Firefox code base that make the browsing experience more seamless, including photo’s integration through Flickr / photobucket, social bookmarking integration with Del.icio.us, Shadows, a blogging tool, enhanced search and a RSS reader.
Photos stored in either Flickr or Photobucket are integrated directly into the browser experience, scrolled horizontally just above the browser window. Photos can be uploaded to these accounts by dragging them into the browser. Or, photos can be added to any web page that accepts html (a comment area on a blog, for example) by dragging the photo directly into the web page. This is the single most compelling reason (for me) that I’ve switched to using Flock - to bring my Flickr photos to the desktop.
