Flock – Firefox Based Social Networking Browser

Flickr Photo

I’m making this post with the del.icio.us (how I store my bookmarks/favorites), Flickr (where I store my photos).  So far I like Flock, and am going to keep playing with it.  You can drag your public Flickr photos into a blog post, which is kinda cool so I’m going to do that right now (a picture of me looking SOOO cool).  There’s things that could be slicker (able to login to flickr to drag private photos, better formatting of the picture you drag into your post, spellcheck in the blog post would be huge), but it’s already pretty slick.

UpdateOkay, after posting that last bit I went to look at it and it’s not so slick. It converted all my html so that it displayed as text. I guess this is cool if you only write text, but I’m used to doing some html formatting. There doesn’t seem to be a setting to let you type in html. It also very badly aligned the photos, so I had to go back in and fix that up. It’s got potential though.

I haven’t tried the rss aggregator, but I really like using BlogLines so far. With Bloglines I can check my feeds from anywhere and don’t need an installed program other than a web browser.

  2. yeah, i’m actually thinking of finding a good way to separate my tech stuff and personal stuff. Until then, consider it educational reading.
