CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on November 06, 2008
Flock is designed to streamline and emphasize how you interface with social networking sites, RSS and media feeds, and blogs. Because it's built on Firefox 3, its behavior will feel familiar and it supports most--but not all--Firefox extensions. And yes, the "awesome bar" is part of the latest version.
Flock's social network savvy sidebar is the reason to get this browser. 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. Feature-focused, 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 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. New users will likely find it overwhelming at first, but it really does give you a more comprehensive and real-time view into your social network than you can get otherwise.

Version: Flock Browser 2.0
Pros: Definitely does what it is suppose to do which makes it a great one stop shop for Social browsing. It is very subtle but fun. Even better the developers released it for the PC, MAC, and Linux. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Cons: I have not found anything wrong with it at the moment but I have only been reviewing for one day on my MAC. I will try running on my PC for a while and we will see how it goes.
