redirect.alexa.com— Paul Stamatiou reviews the latest beta from Flock and even shows a few screencasts of nifty features. It's definitely something worth checking out.

The menu, gui, even the damn search bar on the right looks the same like Firefox's. Source ripped? No surprise there. That happens when something is open source.
I use Flock on a daily basis, and one thing I miss is the ability to create folders in the Bookmarks Toolbar folder as well as the ability to have "live bookmarks" on the toolbar. I have a set of favorites tagged "daily" in delicious and a live bookmark on my toolbar fed via RSS. I miss the ability to "open in tabs" and add items to that list on the fly.
Yeah, flock is firefox with other integrated features that help you out if you're working on a blog or with flickr and stuff like that. I don't personally need these features, but it looks good for for doing that sort of thing. And dude, you can't steal open source!
The one thing I'm not too keen about with Flock right now is their built in blog posting tool. It's not very robust for text editing IMO, and has made the recent post on my blog look out of wack with all the others. Other than that, it's pretty damn good so far. I guess next time I'll try using the Websnipets tool to add text to a post in the actual Blogger site GUI. The RSS viewer is top notch tough, and I've even found myself rather liking the GUI.
Looks useful if you regularly use Flickr/Photobucket and the other social networking features. I don't know if I'm just too busy to use the social networking goodies, sans Digg, or if I'm just too square for it all. Man, if I'm this 'old' at 23, I'm screwed when I hit 40. Anywho, it looks like a good app-- stable, rather quick.

>>Seems like a browser for those who live through attention.Ha-ha! No doubt. Still, it's a great browser. I love it. Nice work Flock crew.
