Flock

So I am testing out this new web browser based on Mozilla Firefox called Flock. It's basically an all-in-one internet Social Networking machine. It's overwhelming at first, to be honest. I found the story on Digg, in a list of the top-10 Mac OSX applications for blogging. Oh the things you find at Digg!

So basically, this application takes every imaginable social networking site, Flickr, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Photobucket, others, and it allows you to not only access them right from an expandable/collapsible side bar, but also to manage and update them. I fired up the new and exciting OCD-machine, and decided to give it a test. As of right now, I am currently logged in to my Facebook, Digg, YouTube, Photobucket, and Blogger accounts with options for tons more. Crazy, I know, but bear with me. Here's a little video from YouTube showing some nifty features of Flock and Digg.

Cool, right? And here is the crazy thing: I dragged and dropped that nonsense! It is THAT easy. Though I haven't fully explored this marvel of technology, (Which belongs right next to Sliced Bread in the "Great Things Museum"), it appears to solve the age-old dilemma, "How can I let thousands of people who don't care what I am doing, know what I am doing... faster?"

I guess it should also be mentioned that this thing can surf the web, manage and track RSS feeds, execute toolbar searches on any of the aforementioned social sites, AND look at porn, if you're in the mood. Not that anyone is, of course.

Just sayin'.
