Flock Me

Flock is a new Firefox/Mozilla based browser that is designed to leverage 'Web 2.0'. (I'll come back to that shortly). It includes a blogging feature, that allows you to post to blogs directly from the browser, and it integrates tightly with Flickr and del.icio.us. In fact, Flock has replaced the traditional Favorites/Bookmark functions with del.icio.us integration. That is interesting, I'll admit.

Now back to the 'leveraging Web 2.0' reference. While I agree that the internet is growing in leaps and bounds, not only in the amount of traffic, but also in the type of traffic and usage, I'm not sure any one product will do a good job of capitalizing on it. I use a computer all day, every day, and I carry a Treo 650. I love the fact that I can be connected to just about anything, from anywhere. That said, I don't want a single software package that does everything. Why would I? I prefer to mix and match my software to meet my changing needs. I may not be in the majority there, however, and Flock may turn into a powerhouse web package.
