Web browser turns Social; here comes Flock
I used to wonder if there’s a website which could be my first page when I log on to my computer every morning and could serve latest news headlines, my email and social network updates. Fortunate enough, I discovered iGoogle and NetVibes, later Facebook became my first page because I can get all the updates I want on one single website.
But then I wondered why can’t I get a browser that could do it all for me. I got an answer for that, Flock - a social web browser.
Yes, that is what it’s creators call it, social web browser and to some extent it is an appropriate nomenclature. Why? Because the web browser has over 23 social web services integrated. You can follow your friends through built in friend feeds from Twitter and Facebook, share & search videos on YouTube, images on Flickr, news feeds from Digg all available in the sidebar of the browser. What more could you ask for? A built in blogging tool perhaps? How about an all-in-one photo uploader? and there’s more; a built in RSS Feed reader as well.
- MyWorld - Flock’s built in start page with your RSS Feeds, Friends’ Activity, Favorite Sites
Flock's sidebar shows your friends' activity from Facebook, Digg, Twitter etc.
The web browser has been built on Mozilla’s engine and therefore has a similar UI and keyboard shortcuts as Firefox. You can also export all your settings, options and information from Firefox to Flock and start using it readily just like Firefox but with an added flavour of social web.
Flock has it all and it promises a rich wholesome user experience as far as using social web applications is concerned. As long as you use social web applications you need the power of Flock; it simply facilitates sharing and social networking up to a level where you start seeing your browser as a place where you live in the world wide web.
This curry is super hot!
