Never heard about Flock before, Flock is an open source web browser built on the same Mozilla architecture that Firefox is built on so many of Flock’s features should be familiar, like tab-based browsing and the ability to add extensions. However, there are a number of cool new features that appeal to the social networking crowd.

Flock offers features that not only let you track your favorite blogs and social networks, but also make it simple to generate your own content. Setup is very easy. Flock imports preferences, bookmarks, and passwords from any browser that’s installed on your system.

Flock has done a really good job of not making the toolbar overly cramped. Everything you could possibly want access to is right in your toolbar. Favorite media sites such as Youtube, Photobucket and Flickr are neatly organized. Next to that are your favorite sharing sites, like del.icio.us and ma.gnolia.

My World is your portal to all your favorite access points on the web. The favorite sites list contains all of your favorite social media sites that you frequently visit. Clicking on any of the links will open the website in a new tab. The middle list contains your your favorite feeds. You can add any RSS feeds that you want to follow. The list on the far right contains your favorite media.

Flock also provides tools for bloggers and other users who want to create content—and that’s where this browser really shines. If you run a blog, you have the option of inputting your log-in information for a number of common weblogging hosts and services, such as LiveJournal, Movable Type, or Blogger. Once you’ve entered that information, you can click on the browser’s Blog option to launch a pop-up window that is preconfigured with your weblog’s categories and posting options, and also provides space for writing an entry.

The big change with the new Flock is the introduction of sidebar social networking integration. Flock now comes standard with support for Facebook, Flickr (more so than previously), Twitter and YouTube. Facebook addicts will love the new Flock. Sidebar Facebook access is not dissimilar to the Facebook iPhone interface, but with better options including the ability to upload photos directly to Facebook. Some options do take you directly to Facebook itself, but it’s still very handy having them at your command in an easy to use sidebar.

Another interesting Flock feature is the Shelf, a clipboard that holds items you’ve copied from Web pages you’ve visited. The main purpose of the Shelf is to collect items that you might want to use in your blog later. The Shelf holds text items and pictures. The Shelf holds items even after you exit Flock, so if you copy a few items into it and then exit the browser, they’ll be there the next time you start it again.

Like Firefox, Flock has a search box on the right side of the navigation toolbar with several search engines to choose from. Flock’s search has a little more than Firefox’s, though. In addition to searching Yahoo!, Google, Wikipedia, or whatever, Flock also searches through your browser history and favorites when you start typing a search term. This can be mighty handy when you’re trying to find a page that you’ve visited recently, but can’t quite remember where.
