Flock, the social web browser built from Firefox code keeps getting more social. Flock 1.2 beta adds Digg, Pownce, and AOL Mail integration. Once you login to Digg for the first time from the Flock browser, you'll have the option of opening up a Digg sidebar which shows you all of your Digg contacts and their recent activity. You can also click a button in the sidebar to submit any page you're ...

Like the idea of having a web browser with Twitter, Facebook, and instant messenger integration, but don't want to install a whole new browser to get those features? Yoono is a browser plugin that makes Firefox behave a bit more like Flock, the social web browser built from the same Mozilla code. But instead of downloading and installing a whole new browser, all you need to do to start using ...

digg_url = "http://downloadsquad.switched.com/2008/01/17/flock-1-1-beta-will-add-web-email-picasa-and-more-to-your-web-b/";Social web browser Flock is planning to launch 3 major new features in about two weeks. Like its predecessors, Flock 1.1 beta is built on Firefox code but it has a ton of features that make it easier to keep in touch with your social networking services like Facebook, ...

Flock, the social web browser, recently passed its milestone 1.0 release. If a tree falls in the woods, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Why aren't more people using Flock? More importantly, why are we? It's a good question. Strip Flock down and what you've got is a Firefox clone. You can do everything with Firefox that you can do with Flock, if you're inclined to add ...

We have to admit, we've been a bit skeptical about Flock in the past. It's a web browser built on Firefox code with a whole bunch of social networking features. Because you know, you can't use Firefox to access social networking/bookmarking sites. But something funny happened when we downloaded and installed the new Flock 1.0 beta that was released today: We liked it. The browser includes a blog ...

Flock, the Mozilla based web browser still under development in private beta, is getting a nice overhaul with its 0.9 release tomorrow. If you're not familiar with Flock, it was released in 2005 with much anticipation and hype as the social network browser. Flock was created to integrate various social networks into one browser platform so you could conceivably post items to your blog, update ...

Seeing a bunch of lean code jockeys building the next generation of web browsers is a reality TV show I'd watch. Since that's probably not happening any time soon, I'll take the next best thing: Read/WriteWeb's Web Browser Faceoff, by Alex Iskold. Iskold reviews six of the latest crop of web bowsers: Firefox 2, Internet Explorer 7, Safari, Opera 9, Flock, and Maxthon. I highly recommend reading ...

The CEO of Flock, the hyped social browser that some say didn't really live up to its hype, has just left the company Wednesday to build another company. The move by Bart Decrem is being treated like it was a planed move. Bessemer Venture Partners has stated that this development has been anticipated since the day the company was started. Flock launched at the beginning of August, with a ton of ...

Michael Arrington over at TechCrunch has an interesting scoop on a new version of the Flock web browser that has been released by Photobucket. Flock, the Firefox-based "social browser" includes Flickr and Photobucket integration, and the new Photobucket edition is identical in every way, except it tosses out Flickr support. Neither Flock, Inc. nor Photobucket have released a statement regarding ...

Meebo is great. It's full of AJAX-y goodness, connects through port 80 (which is useful when you're on a network that blocks standard IM ports), and works with the big 4 IM protocols. The only real issue I have with it is the fact that opening a new tab or new window hides my buddy list. Some intrepid soul has hacked up an extension for Flock which places Meebo in a persistent sidebar frame that ...

Forgot all about Flock, didn't you? (Yeah, me too.) Well, the Firefox-based "social web browser" is still alive and kicking, and with the release of Flock Beta 1, a.k.a. version 0.7, the Flock team has kicked it into public beta mode. Though when the first alpha was released Flock was pretty easy to dismiss as, well, alpha software, the new beta looks compelling, with speed and stability ...

David Chartier over at TUAW alerts us to the fact that Flock, the Firefox-based "social web browser" has been updated to 0.60 with a bunch of new features. Among them: drag-and-drop uploading to Flickr, Flickr search by tags or text, a new blog editor with category support for WordPress and Movable Type, support for private online bookmarks with Shadows.com, Technorati and maps topbars, ...
