Flock -Your New Favorite Browser?

At least that's how they advertise it. It was enough to grab my attention. So far it's not too bad. It's got a lot of things built in, letting me check email, blog, check feeds, pretty much everything internet is built in to it. Sounds like a swiss army knife of browsers.

I've always been a fan of Firefox. From when I had a windows xp computer, and since I do web work, IE has always been a joke, so I've always preferred Firefox. It really takes a toll on memory usage though, but it's the price to pay. When I moved to the Mac world, I tried using safari for a while, but I never really liked the experience so I stuck with the memory hog Firefox, I also had a short stint with Camino which seemed to marry a lot of what I liked about Firefox without the memory issues, but I ended up going back to Firefox. With Leopard and the release of Safari 3, I've been really happy with it, and I've been using Safari pretty much exclusively.

My school's online courses don't really work well with Safari, so whenever I'm doing school work, I have to switch to Firefox, and I've been using Firefox beta 3, and I really have been liking that, and I actually would say it's about 50/50 with Firefox and Safari.

I grabbed this new one from an ad, and so far it's just okay. I like the idea and direction it's going. It shows the digg feed so I can see what's going on with digg without going to digg. If I had a facebook, which I don't, I would be able to see when people commented me and updated their profiles. When I get new e-mail the browser tells me. With all this stuff going on, it's kinda hard for me to concentrate on just surfing the web. The interface is really busy with a bunch of small buttons that I'm not sure what they do. I'm sure its a work in progress and I'll keep an eye on it, but hey, it got me to post a blog, so it has that going for it.
