I’ve downloaded a new browser (WHAT!?) called Flock and it comes with a built in blog editor. Supposedly it’s the “social browser” and it kind of lives up to that title. You can log in to all your social networks and view all the feeds belonging to your friends. It’s actually kind of cool. Right now, I’m looking at my “favorites” Flickr feed and YouTube feed.
If I click on my “people” sidebar, I can see the updates of all my friends in Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, and YouTube. Kind of nifty. Also, there is a “favorite feeds” sidebar which shows RSS feeds I’ve subscribed to (no GReader integration, so I won’t be using that feature) and then there’s the “mail” sidebar where I can read my Gmail if I so desire.
Will I use this for long? Who knows. We’ll see how much it annoys me or helps me with my blogging. One thing that I’m already annoyed about is the fact that I can’t assign a category to this post from the blog editor. WTF! Anyone else use Flock?
UPDATE: I’m dumb… I get to choose a category when I upload to the blog… Sweet!
