Why Flock?
Q: Why Flock? (Version 0.9 Released July 10, 2007 – Release Notes)
A: To me, there of several features that are extremely appealing…
- Blog Post Editor – (see User Guide)
- RSS News Feeds Reader, built-in (see User Guide)
- Media Stream – access/update your favorite photos at Flickr or Photobucket, and at YouTube.
- Multi-search-site integration
- My World – (see User Guide)
- Extensible – extensions (add-ons) can be added that extend the built-in capabilities – note: My Favorite Add-ons (a.k.a. Extensions)
- Most Firefox extensions work with Flock. For those that complain and won’t let you install them, they can be adapted http://developer.flock.com/wiki/Firefox_to_Flock (see end of this page: http://lilurl.org/mq667n7 for the list of extensions that I use in Flock.
- Customizable – buttons can be re-arranged, using View»Toolbars»Customize…”, for example.
- Collections of Favorites – for versions 0.7.x. As of version 0.9, integration with social bookmarking systems (e.g. de.licio.us)
- Built-in spell checker
- And many other features.
