I’ve been using the Flock Browser on and off for several months, and just recently downloaded the 0.5 release. It’s much more stable (as it should be with a new release) and the addition of features likes Flickr integration, Yahoo maps, Shelf (quick note and URL repository) and other upgrades makes it a much more usable experience when I’m browsing for pleasure.

Several companies and individuals have attempted to make creating blog entries and photo sharing a seamless process, and they have come close, but no one has achieved it just yet. I think Flock has the promise to reach the summit before others, but only time will tell.

I will still use Firefox the majority of the time because Flock is still in its infancy, but it holds great promise for making web browsing truly an interactive experience and provide simple to use tools for the “We” Web.
