Flock CEO flies away (Download Squad)

Sep 24th 2006 5:22PM Both I (a Web Developer) and my girlfriend (not even close) use Flock as our default browsers.

I love the star button, photo bar and local results in the search bar.

But I hate the horrible memory leak. I also worry a bit about the lag between when FF updates and when Flock applies the same fixes.

I would like to see greater flexibility in adding services in the photo and bookmarks. Although the defaults (Flickr, del.icio.us) work fine for me, I'd like to see the same breadth the offer for blogging (they support Drupal, for example).

If, for example, WebShots offers an API for its users I'd like to be able to add it. Perhaps something like the ability to manually set the add, edit, delete functions if you're brave enough.

Flock's greatest value might be as an example to other browsers for the features and the viability of offering choices to their users.

For now, it allows my girlfriend to actually use all those great sites (del.icio.us, Flickr, her blog) from "one screen". Even though she's getting used to tabs, she's not exactly a "CTRL+T CTRL+L flickr.com" kind of gal.
