Flock
Always a bit dubious when a new browser comes out, but this one might be different.
With Flickr, delicious and blog integration – it’s labelling itself as the social browser. I’m posting this entry with it just to prove to myself that it might be worth adopting as my default.
Looks good so far. What do you think?
Blogged with Flock

Im loving it too, but I discovered only today that it’s actually still in beta.
I had a issue where Flock lost all of my Flickr.com account details. Should I be worried?

Hi Steven,
It’s true we are still at Beta at this point. Your Flickr account details (sets, photo privacy settings, etc) are all on flickr service side. Flock only stores/caches your flickr info temporarily. As long as you still remember your flickr login you haven’t lost anything. All you need to do is log into flickr using flock and you will be provided with the instructions to configure it.
If you have trouble or problems with the version you are using, try our nightly builds on tinderbox.flock.com and keep flocking.
Your feedbacks are valuable for us. Thanks

Great to have you posting here Jacky!
I’ve been off and on using Flock this past week and do like the blog functionality a lot. It’s strange how people react against different browsers entering the market. My major concern as a designer would always be ‘standards’ and how well the software renders XHTML and CSS.
I think the next 5 years are going to be interesting and we’ll all be using very different ways to interface with the internet and online information generally.
I think the fact that Flock positions itself with a social focus and integrates a suite of tools relevant to services in this area is a precursor of things to come.
[ I don’t like the fact you set the type size of “Blogged with Flock” as an inline style though!
