"Flock comes together"

Built on Firefox, Flock is designed to make interfacing with social networking sites extremely easy. The browser loads pages well, but the Quick Search dialog box doesn't like it when you switch search engines, it just opens them in a new browser. Most, but not all, regular Firefox extensions work, too.

Flock's social network savvy sidebar is the reason to get this browser. Nine buttons at the top of the collapsible sidebar make accessing any of your social networking or frequently used Web sites easier than Twittering what you had for breakfast. Each button either helps you get your message out faster, like dragging-and-dropping photos into Flickr, or helps you read your friends' messages quicker, like the integrated RSS feed reader.

The People button turns the sidebar into a nifty way to track all your social networking accounts. Your avatar is displayed on the left, while the right contains links for new messages and new comments. The bottom holds the links to upload new media when applicable and a hot link to open or close your media stream.

There are also hot links to most major blogging sites, and if you choose to configure it for your own self-published blog, Flock guides you through the process. Even though it's resource-heavy, Flock is the way to go if Twittering, Facebooking, or YouTubing is how you spend most of your online time.

"Flock RULES!!"

by protolux on April 24, 2008

Pros: Flock makes so many common tasks on the web completely intuitive and naturally integrated into the browser...that you'll wonder how you ever got along without it. I ditched my Firefox with tons of extensions for Flock because it performs so much better without a bunch of extensions bogging it down.

Cons: Integrate Skype please.

"Bloated browser"

by Axel2010 on May 26, 2008

Pros: Social networking features.

Cons: Not mac native, slow compared to Camino and Safari and bloated. I would only recommend this to people that are always in social networking websites and connected with other people.
