Flock 1.1 Browser: Even a Little Cooler
Published February 26th, 2008 in Browser Security, Firefox, Flock
A few months ago, I wrote that Flock, the social-media browser built on top of Firefox, had become my new favorite browser. It still is–and today, the Flock folks released a beta of version 1.1. It’s got no earthshaking new features, but is sure worth a look if you like inventive Web tools.
The big news in this version is Flock 1.1 support: You can integrate the browser with a Gmail or Yahoo Mail account (or both), whereupon an icon lets you see new messages, create a message, or use the Webmail service to share a Web page you’re on. It’s useful and reasonably slick, although I wonder why Flock didn’t put this functionality into its sidebar–where it gives you access to Facebook, Flickr, and other services–which would have given people even readier access to their mail, without requiring them to click the icon to see new messages.
