I need to work on our WASC report tonight and finish lesson planning, so no real time to blog. However, I did download the newest version of the Flock web browser and I am impressed.
From the start, Flock has tried to be a Web 2.0 web browser. This version takes a big leap in that direction. It has a My World tab that gives me one click access to my Flickr, YouTube, Blogger, WordPress and other online homes. It posts to my blogs. It uploads my photos to Flickr.
It has a decent RSS reader. I like that I can easily toggle between full posts and teasers. It also has a similar feature for different types of media. As always, it is blazing fast at loading pages– much faster than Firefox on my Mac or IE on my HP.
It has a blog post editor which has tabs to access the source code and a preview. No image upload in it that I can see, but otherwise it looks good. Strange that it won’t talk to my Flickr, but I suppose that is too controlled by the blogging platform of my host.
And unlike it’s early, early versions, it’s been stable all afternoon since I installed it. Hopefully that will continue.
Go ahead. Give it a look and let me know what you think.
