Reviewed by: CNET Staff
There's a lot to like in this beta release of Flock 1.0, if you're into social networking. Built on Firefox, it's 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.

Version: Flock 0.7.12
Pros: If you have a photobucket account, myspace account or like sharing images or photos.... YOU MUST get FLOCK!!! It is so easy to use, with many features and useful extensions that work with it almost seamlessly. I have been able to save so much time when responding to myspace comments, where as before I was only able to spend time enough typing a response- now I drag and drop HTML and graphics with ease to add a personal touch. (not that I am a myspace junkie, or anything...lol!!!no never!!;) I want to get rid of IE completely after using this browser...did I mention the awesome download manager, the Torrent bar extension, and the sidebar with page view and the tabbed browsing option, and favorites manager, and the photobucket scrollbar (top or bottom) and the FAST picture uploader...and and and...haha! Told Ya! I really like this browser- cuts down on mundane tasks and helps to increase my productivity, while keeping me organized...and I have only just begun playing with it...more later...
eYe
Cons: There may be a few glitches when trying to visit MSN websites, sending hotmail and email integration issues...or it may just be me...:) Enjoy!
