Has anyone else discovered the newly released version 1.0 of Flock? Flock is billed as a browser for social networking users. It integrates Facebook, Flicr, YouTube, and other social networks. However, even if you aren’t into these networks, Flock is still a very useful browser. I’m surprised I’m not seeing more buzz about Flock. You can check it out at http://www.flock.com/

I’ve tried Flock a little, but not enough to really have an opinon yet. What do you see as it’s best qualities?

I like Facebook so having my friends listed and updated in the side bar is nice. I also like the sidebar implementation of RRS feeds. I use 1-Password and it is nicely integrated in Flock. You can also use many of Firefox’s extensions as well as some that are strictly for Flock. Probably the thing I appreciate most is that even though it offers lots of extras they are implemented in such a way that they are never in your face. You can display or hide the sidebar and media bar whenever you aren’t using them.

Sounds as though you really like it. I will give it a serious workout. Maybe this is an excuse for me to get a facebook account! I have to say though, that I am incredibly happy with Camino so Flock will really have its work cut out for it.
