A short shoutout to the brilliant devs of Flock and a bit of shameless advertising, but it's a free program so not so shameless perhaps

You may have noticed that this post as well as the previous one have little "Blogged with Flock" sigs at the bottom. Actually all my posts have been blogged with Flock, I just hadn't tried that option until today.

You've no doubt heard of Firefox, well, Flock is also a free web browser. It's based on Firefox but is better in so many ways that to list them all would invalidate the second word of the title of this post. Basically the features that are resposible for my many marriage proposals to it are the integrated blogging (just click File>New Blog Post and you're presented with a lovely interface to blog with, regardless of which site or company hosts your blog), integrated RSS (just click a button and you have an RSS news reader right inside the browser) and the over-all ease-of-use and great looks. It also integrates with Flickr for those of you who use that, oh boy it's nifty.

So may as well try it out, just click on "Flock" at the bottom of this post or in the links section of the blog (to the right) :)

  • You can also pop the blog editor by clicking the button with the cute feather pen at the top of the browser.

    Flock rocks!

    Cheers,

  • You can indeed! But I've removed that button to make room for StumbleUpon, as you can see here
    Not that I don't have room for one button but I just don't like clutter.
    Plus I like having a big URL bar for seeing how websites work, which queries are being run to produce the page, etc.

    Flock does indeed rock! I rate it so highly that all other browsers seem simple and featureless in comparison.
    However better support for Firefox extensions would be cool, I noticed that with version 0.7.3 Beta the extension FlashBlock worked, but then in 0.7.3.2 and above it didn't work anymore which made me a sad panda.
