Flock (web browser)
Flock is a web browser (and the name of the company developing it) based on Mozilla Firefox. It is currently being developed by several developers from the Mozilla Foundation.
Browser
Designed to be a "social web browser", features are likely to include:
- del.icio.us type features
- Flickr integration
- Technorati tagging
- blogging tools
- capability of sharing bookmarks
- RSS
- "Drag and drop" capability
Another possibility is the organisation of text in columns for easier reading, this is also being considered for Firefox 1.5+. Enabled by CSS3.
A beta launch is planned for early October 2005.
Company
Flock is the successor to Round Two who raised money from Bessemer Venture Partners. Bart Decrem is Flock’s CEO and co-founder.
