Flock ( Firefox/Mozilla based brower )

Looks kinda interesting.........

The browser's new features are based on new Web technologies fast attracting fans in the online community--part of a movement that has come to be known as Web 2.0.

For example, the traditional Web browser bookmarks menu has been replaced in favor of close integration with del.icio.us, an online service that allows bookmarks to be stored and shared with other users.

The Flock team has taken note of the Internet community's rapidly growing obsession with both blogs and the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) standard that makes it possible to speedily know when a blog has been updated.

Flock includes a built-in RSS reader, which allows a user to read all of their favorite blogs in one place, without the need to separately navigate to each one. Various Web sites and software programs already provide this functionality, but Flock is one of the first to integrate it into a Web browser.

The browser also facilitates blogging by the user with a "Create a blog post" button located in the main navigation bar. The button launches a sophisticated blogging tool that integrates on a drag-and-drop level with Flickr, a popular online photo management and sharing service recently acquired by Yahoo.

yeah, have downloaded but will most likely install tomorrow, when my heads more together.

there are a few other noteable released today, Opera 9 Tech Preview ( again an early release ), MS Start.com ( customizable Home page or secondary news and info page ), Hotmail2 aka Mailbeta seems to be rolling out to testers ( I was using it earlier and initial look, I like it over hotmail now ) still early days but the forthcoming updates look good.

RSS is already native for Firefox I believe.

Seems nice - I might get it once they get a few more builds out.

features are too product specific.. what a shame. Great idea that can't be implemented any better because of the lack of standards for web bookmarking and blog posting.
