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.

  1. Hey Candy,

    Thanks for the awesome post about Flock, you rock! I’m glad we’re still making you happy, and I think you’ll be very excited to see some of the things we have coming this year. :)

    Could we use your quote about Flock being a “ME platform” on our homepage (attributed to your name or anonymous, whichever you’d like)? That’s a better line than we could ever come up with! Let me know!
