Version: Flock 1.0 beta
"Great browser for social users"
Pros: Flock has a lot of things going for it for the forum posters and random bloggers out there. It's one of the new browsers that has actually added on to whatever base it was using, in this case, firefox. Most clones take away, but Flock has become something in itself. The media stream is fantastic, and the note taking ability is something very useful.
Cons: Only really made for social site users. If you don't have a flickr, youtube, photobucket, blog, then Flock doesn't really offer you much more than a somewhat different looking browser.

Version: Flock 0.7.9.1
Pros: I like this browser a lot. It uses the same code as Firefox, so everything is already in place and you don't have to remember where all the buttons are. The fact that there is a built-in blogger is awesome. If you find something you need to blog, hit the shortcut key and blog away. The uploading of pictures is awesome, I love that too. Much easier than loading the site and uploading there. The intergrated RSS feed is great, I love using it. Perhaps the best I've used so far.
Cons: The fact that it uses the same code as Firefox means that it's a hog in resources, and everything like slow load times is in with Flock. The Bookmarks feature is also a bit dodgy: I can favourite with no problems, but you must click Favourites --> Manage Bookmarks --> to find your bookmarks, unless you put them in Collection folder. I find that highly inconvenient. It's also still in beta, so expect some bugs.

Version: Flock 1.0.8
Pros: I set this now to my default browser finally after using IE for over 8 years. It is very nice, easy to use, and very friendly with youtube, facebook, blogger, and alot of other social networking sites. Not to mention all the fire fox add ons and extensions work well in Flock.
