Anybody use the Flock web browser? I just downloaded it and I think it's pretty great. I read that it has the speed that Chrome has, which is a little quicker than FF, so I figured I would give it a try.

Flock is designed for people who do a lot of blogging from what I understand. The media bar is pretty cool. You can basically "Sync" anything you want to it. Facebook, Youtube, Photobucket .. if it has media, you can sync it to the media bar and it's always there. You don't have to go that website in a new tab to view the media content.

No matter what email service you use, it is available at the click of an icon. When you first open your email in flock, it syncs it to the email icon.

If you are on facebook, well then Flock is perfect. The People sidebar links everything from you prfile to a sidebar. You can search for a friend and then you have all of the control you need right there in the sidebar. Also, if you use Facebook chat a lot, that is always availble. Instead of being at the bottom of the facebook tab as it would be in FF or Chrome, it's at the bottom of the web browser itself, and is open no matter what web site you are on. You don't actually have to have favebook open to use facebook chat .. i think that's pretty cool.

That's what Flock is all about .. it makes media and blogs much more readily available. It's really is as quick as chrome, and the overall layout is very pleasing and easy to become acostomed to.

I recomend at least giving it a shot and learning about its capabilities. There is a lot of cool stuff you can do beyond what I just shared.

sounds coo. Something actually focused to a demographic instead of just trying to be the next "best" browser.

It's very cool. Any blog that you read or news source or anything with a blog-like format can be added to your side bar. What's nice is that you can organize them into different folders and when there are new posts at any of your marked sites, it will tell you. You can set how often you would like Flock to check for new posts. Mine is set for every 5 minutes.

It's pretty cool stuff.
