Flock Firefox-based Open-Source Browser - Wired News
Posted on Sep 14, 2005
Wired News is reporting on buzz surrounding a new open-source browser built upon Firefox called Flock. Many of the members of the Flock team come from the Mozilla Foundation, and they are apparently planning to send their new browser into beta in October (I signed up out of curiosity).
While I am not completely clear on what will make Flock unique, the creators are calling it a "social browsing experience" or "two-way web." Ha? Well, apparently it will integrate blogging tools, "play nicely" with web sites like Flickr, Technorati and del.icio.us, and "detect and authenticate all those user accounts automatically." However, the goal is apparently not to compete with Firefox.
Ok...still unclear on what it is? So am I. You can read the article and go to the site yourself, and if you are clear...can you fill me in? Like I said, I signed up to maybe get an invite to the beta anyway...what the heck, right?
