Tags: | Added: 19 Sep, 2007 (1,636 Views)

Flock is a relatively new web browser that got some serious attention in the web world. It’s in no way near to the popularity of Firefox or Internet Explorer but provides some excellent features. Flock tags itself as ‘the social web browser’, meaning that is focused on making content sharing (webpages, videos, blog publishing, etc.) easier. Check out full feature list below.

    Thanks for the Flock love! We’re very proud of 0.9 and even more excited about our 1.0, due out this Fall. If you’re interested, you can sign up for a Private Beta of 1.0 at http://www.flock.com/privatebeta. 1.0 will be even more social and powerful…I think you’ll like it. :)
