sponge for all things beautiful, yummy, cool, and fun
If the web is turning 2.0, why aren’t browsers? Well, one is. I just bumped into Flock today and decided to try it out, as I seemed to have fit all of its symptoms. Am I a shareaholic? Yes. Do I always want to be connected? Yes. Will I appreciate drag and drop uploading and instant publishing features? Absolutely.
Flock is tied into 19+ online services including my favorites: Facebook, Flickr, Gmail, YouTube, and WordPress (my own blog). It allows you to multi-task the multi-tasking. It keeps you informed of all updates everywhere. Granted that this baby 1.2 version can be refined, but it’s still quite good as a browser tailored to my extreme-digital browsing and communicating behavior. Definitely not suited for everyone. Simple folks who have trouble navigating Google should NOT attempt to use this…

Why be an advocate?
Because good ideas deserve to be recognized and good design should be impossible to ignore. Because in this message-muddled world, there are still some lines that can catch my eye and win me over. Because the world has never been changed by indifference. Because there are people, places, products and punchlines that have inspired me- and could very likely inspire you too. Because I still need a place to release some personal revelations, raves and rants. Because it's just too damn hard to keep it all to myself.

Hi Julie! I’ve been using Flock for over a year and I love love love it. I’m addicted to the RSS feeds for my blogs my flickr comments and the flickr integration. No more checking sites for updates… (ps hi! hope all is well! i’ve been considering getting nike+ so i appreciate your reviews of it!)
