Flock beta out socializing
Flock has released the beta 1 of its uber-social browser.
Flock is "a free web browser that makes it easier than ever to share photos, stay up-to-date with news from your favorite sites, and search the Web", the VC-backed young company says.
The Flock blog said of the beta: "For this release, and for at least the next year or so, we are primarily focused on supporting the social dimension of the web, and on bringing information closer to the user. Right now this includes a heavy emphasis on the photo experience (from upload through discovery to notification), RSS support, dramatic improvements to the search box (including a new take on favorites), and blogging."
It's been a while since Flock told us it hopes the new browser will fly with users.
Does a beefed-up social browser make sense? Give it a spin and talk back to us and let others know.
It's great to see some browser buzz again with this and Opera 9's release yesterday. Opera 9 is looking to me at first glance to be a real contender in interface and performance.
