Flock
Hype’s a wonderful thing but when it bares no fruit you feel conned. That’s how I feel after trying Flock. This is the Firefox browser with social networking and sharing built in. Blog from your browser - yep. Flickr integration - woo! Del.icio.us integration of your bookmarks - impressive.
But it’s so SLOW. The blogging GUI is also lacking and for me just doesn’t work very well - I can quickly log into the blog and post from any browser so where’s the advantage. I do like the Del.icio.us integration but I also don’t want the whole world to see my favourites - they are my precious and I want to keep them that way. Did I mention it was slow? Admitedly it’s a very early release with optimisation to come but if this is the best of the Web 2.0 apps then it can flock off - I’ll stick with Firefox thank you very much.
