Internet Explorer, Firefox or Flock - You’ll Be Surprised

You haven’t heard of Flock?
No, this isn’t Guru Fodder terminology and sorry, today isn’t about Homer & Marge, although they will benefit from what I’m about to say.
I’ve been a fan of the Firefox internet browser for the past year or so, mainly because I find it more stable than IE and the range of add-ons really useful to help me be more productive.
And then along comes FLOCK
If, like me, you’re into Web 2.0 social sites and social bookmarking then this free browser may be just right for you.
Take a look yourself for all of the details but as standard there’s a left hand sidebar with links to all of your accounts with services like Twitter, Facebook & YouTube. Having set them up there’s an easy login and simple drag and drop feature makes uploading photos etc very easy.
I must highlight one area that is great for bloggers.
This post was written using the editor inside Flock that I think is superior to the WordPress editor. There’s more control over font, size & colour and I find the editor works more like a standard word processor application.
When you’ve finished just hit the Publish button and you’re away. Depending on your plugins you may need to go into your control panel and do some editing but on the whole it’s not a big problem.
Flock works with all the major blogging platforms, including the free ones like Blogger and WordPress.com.
It also integrates easily with Google & Yahoo Mail and can be used to receive RSS feeds - everything is just a click of an icon away.
Oh, yes, if you use RoboForm that is automatically integrated as well.
Many of the Firefox add-ons also work with Flock although I understand they have not all been tested.
Download it today - I’m not using it as my default browser yet, but for my Social Sites I think it is great. I’ve just added them all to a single folder that lists them in the sidebar for easy access.
This one gets a thumbs up from the grumpy old Anti Hype.
