The current explosion of social networking will soon result in most websites having a social networking component. As a result the big step in social networking isn’t going to be who creates the next MySpace, Facebook, or YouTube, but who creates a website or software to consolidate all the data that all these networks produce.
Flock is a browser based on Mozilla Firefox. Flock creator call it “the social browser” as it enhanced multiple automations for social networking and web 2.0 services like Flickr, Blogger, Twitter etc. Flock comes with a built-in RSS aggregator for keeping an eye on your favorite feeds and works with almost any of Firefox add-ons.
Flock automatically activates these services within its features:
- Flock can indicate when friends have updated their profile, uploaded photos or other things.
- Flock has internal features that allow sharing of text, links, photos and videos.
- Flock has its own system allowing preview of online videos and photos, and subscription to video feeds.
- Flock’s Feed Reader organizes Atom and RSS feeds.
- Flock’s Blog Editor allows direct posting into a designated blog, along with being a blog reader.
- Flock also allows for third-party add-ons, including a number of Firefox extensions
The 10MB download picks up bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings from your existing installation of Firefox or Internet Explorer. Public beta (one) of Flock 2 is fast, manages memory better, and is more secure.
