From Flock - slackermanager.com October 21, 2005 . I'm typing this from the blog editor in Flock. Very cool. Flock has lots of very cool things. I've only spent three minutes on it, but if it keeps going like this, it'll replace standard Firefox in a heartbeat. Get yours here.
comments -- - wbloggar is a lot better. -- -I am by no means a blogger, or one of those "Social Web" types (the percieved demographic) - I only got my del.icio.us account because of Flock, and I don't feel very comfortable sharing my bookmarks with the world. However, Flock has a lot of neat stuff besides the blog integration - that is the Big Thing about it. The bookmark managing and the RSS aggregation handling is truly excellent. The "star" button is a great idea, so are tags, and I just dig the bookmark manager. I recently found myself trying to bolt on that functionality to Firefox via extensions (Sage for RSS and Bookmark Tags for, well, bookmark tagging), but it's not the same - it feels just that, bolted on.
on flock.com faq: We have currently implemented del.icio.us and Flickr because they are the two services that we are most familiar with (and we like them), so we figured that they would be a great starting point. We plan to always offer choice so that users can connect to any service they choose. We will continue integrating services as time permits and hope to engage the community to help with this effort.
