internet.newsforge.com — Flock is a "social browser" built on the Firefox code base, which integrates blogging, photo sharing with Flickr or Photobucket, "favorites" (a.k.a. bookmarks) using del.icio.us or Shadows, and other collaborative features.

Whoah. Swiftfox is awesome. They actually have a 32-bit binary for Athlon64. Thanks!

Unless Flock committs to financially supporting Mozilla I wouldn't use it. I would rather use Firefox and support Mozilla. Flock seems to be another Apple, looking to score big on the back of Open Source. Apple is known for not giving back one bit to open source even though OSX is completely built from FreeBSD. It's true that they don't have to, but they are one of the few companies in that area that gives nothing. I was listening to an interview with the developer of SAMBA, and he was talking about how Apple is very strange that way... anyway, I digress. I just hope Flock at least gives back to the developers that created their product.

Excellent. It's like they took all the BS web 2.0 trends I hate and combined them into one easy-to-avoid package.

"and what happens when new and better options come out than flickr, del.icio.us etc.?"The system originally just supported del.icio.us for bookmarks and Flickr for photos. Now it supports two services for both of those -- I'm not sure how extensible the system is, but it's certainly *possible* to add more services.
