Postcards from the Funny Farm

This article attempts to relate how cool the new browser on the block is: Flock. Anyone who blogs should use all the major browsers. This helps you stay abreast of what your code looks like across the board. I have Firefox, IE, and now Flock all installed on my computer and while I use them all to some extent, the new “Social Web Browser” called Flock is my favorite. This is by no means a tutorial, I have much to learn about its many hidden features. Instead, it’s simply a review and a recommendation to you. I say everyone should go check this amazing browser out.

This feature is the reason I left Firefox. You can subscribe to feeds within Flock and the interface for doing so is so much simpler than anything I have used from Bloglines to Google Reader. You can auto subscribe with a click or just select the XML source and add it to your feed favorites.

It’s nice when you can have features in the browser rather than all over the places with shortcuts in your toolbar. Mine fills up fast! That’s why I like Flock. It has most the major social networks embedded as features and the ones that aren’t, you can access in Flock through the add-on “Shareaholic.”

All Firefox addons are compatible with Flock and it has features that Firefox does not yet have. I will always be a fan of Firefox but I think the current Flock is better.

This cut of the buttons and toolbar shows some of the groovy features of Flock. Don’t you want to see what each button does? Flock is so cool. How often in our blogging day to we come across truly new surfing and networking tools? Flock has a lot of them.

Flock can be downloaded here. What do you think of it?
