Flock

Flock: The web browser for you and your friends.

I just got pointed to Flock by a friend over the weekend. It’s pretty cool. It’s a web browser with support for many of the popular web applications (read “Web 2.0″) built in.

Like I was telling him, me and Web 2.0–not so much. But I like to blog, and want to blog more. This application has a built-in blog

editor, so hitting command-B just calls up a window to make new posts. Right-click on links in web pages, and you can create a new blog page with that link in it.

Other things I haven’t got into yet include support for Flickr and Gmail. You can open up a new message and drag photos into it to send pictures to friends. Pretty cool, if I didn’t have so much work to do…

And from the department of weird coincidences, my friend was telling me about Flock while we were dining at the Union Oyster House in Boston. While stepping outside for a smoke my friend bumped into a guy with a Flock T-Shirt on. He was one of the lead developers!
