Flock is Good

Finally getting a chance to play with a build of Flock and I’m digging it. Very shiny.

  • del.icio.us integration KICKS ASS. Here’s hoping that tags/descriptions are handled in a good way. I’m looking forward to being able to del a page completely from the keyboard (like alt-b to bookmark which then focuses a sidebar/panel thing that autofills some stuff. If it has DOM-based point-and-click copying of elements, then I think I can scratch a project off my todo list 🙂
  • The shelf is nice. I’m hoping for user assignable hot keys for everything.
  • I haven’t played much with the blogging/Flickr extensions, but drag-and-drop and all the other desktop niceties definitely changes things.

Huzzah to Flock, shaping up to be not just a ‘social’ browser, but the best read-write web browser around. Or, to quote Mark Pilgrim:

Or do you just use your browser to browse? That’s so 20th century.
