" Flock - the browser for people who like to be connected. Get ready to meet your new favorite browser!"

Today I thought I'd introduce readers to the wonderful world of Flock, the self-proclaimed "social web browser." It seems as though the developers took Firefox, added on integration for popular sights such as Facebook and Youtube, and gave it a new name. The browser itself is great, featuring a nice RSS feed manager, blog post creator, user account management, and a lot more. It also tries to make browsing easier by including an "internet clipboard," which lets you copy more than one thing to your computer at a time. However, viewing the things on your clipboard becomes limited to a few thumbnails that can only be enlarged by reopening whatever it is you copied in its original location on its website. This gets frustrating. Your home page consists of a list of favorite websites, updates to your RSS feeds, and even your favorite media from flickr or youtube. The browser has a "media bar" that lets you browse through media from various media-hosting sights without leaving the current page.
The browser includes a large variety of search engines, with the ability to add more from various sites. Personally, I added a youtube, facebook, and blogger search engine. However, unlike firefox, typing a topic in the address box will not pull up the most relevant page (which I miss). Instead, it will search the topic in a yahoo search and display the results. I personally hate yahoo and think google is every way better than it, so this became rather irksome rather quickly.
Although they copy a lot from firefox and are likely to get sued for some reason or another, its not a bad browser. Not great, but worth trying out. Who knows... maybe one of you yahoo disciples out there will nominate the developers for some "software of the year"award.
