Thoughts from Candy with a “why?”

Something is technically wrong.

Thanks for noticing—we’re going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.


I totally prefer personality over ROBOTIC ERROR MESSAGES (must say while making robot motions and using Asperger tone). Can you guess who this message is from?

Blogged with the Flock Browser


{March 28, 2008}   Flock, the “Social Browser”… I’m a BIG fan!

I wanted to share the features of my favorite and VERY USER-focused social media browser with you. I have used it for 2 years or so, and they keep making so many AWESOME improvements to the firefox-based browser! I demo’d this at Community Camp earlier this year and there were still a lot of folks that may have HEARD of it but never used it.

I can’t wait until a mobile version of this paradigm comes out.

Anyway, here is an overview of Flock Features:

  • “My World”
  • “People” sidebar
  • Media Bar
  • Feeds sidebar
  • Search Engine options
  • Email Inbox
  • Favorites
  • Accounts and Services sidebar
  • Web Clipboard
  • “Blog This” feature with builtin remote editor
  • Photo uploader

… all
built right in to the browser! It’s a ME platform instead of a web platform. This will be an image-heavy post that I plan to share as a web demo.
