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.
