New browser.. if you're "exclusive" enough to be selected to try it out.

pgo · 06-10-2005, 01:48

Yeah, seen it. Not sure what to think. I'll withhold judgement.

Interesting... don't know what to think about yet another browser, but i signed up anyway... let's see how it turns out!

lucidcreations · 06-10-2005, 07:13

Google are making one. Could this be it?

pcswebmaster · 06-10-2005, 07:18

What's with their logo? Looks like Gizmondo's corporate image/logo design!
As soon as i saw it i thought... Gizmondo. And i don't even know what gizmondo is!! (must have seen an ad or something)

Why would you be building a browser and have pictures of yourself on the internet wearing firefox t shirt.

Haha, I was thinking about the same thing.

Apparently, Flock is a "social browser" - which I guess means it's geared toward the blogger crowd? Not sure what they mean by that.

Rakan · 06-10-2005, 08:53

so basically it's a browser with a blog?

roto · 16-10-2005, 01:00

Social this, social that...where will it all end? Ah...the days when you could have some privacy round this here interweb.

pgo · 16-10-2005, 01:18

It won't end. I'm getting kind of tired of it all, too. All this "Web 2.0" nonsense - technorati tags, pingbacks, trackbacks, social networking, "iPod-like user experience", organizing with "tags" as opposed to directories (this absolutely doesn't make sense to me).

None of it really makes sense to me. I tried to get on the bandwagon, but it's getting difficult. I'm beginning to be repelled. I have enough going on with a full-time jobs, a few sites to keep an eye on, a project now and then, real-live friends, girlfriend (someday...), and the rest of it.

Gives me a headache.

gray · 22-10-2005, 07:56

you can download it now if anyone cares.. looks like a tarted up firefox

cam · 22-10-2005, 08:16

Guy in work was playing with it yesterday, it was pretty underwhelming to be honest

People that blog will probably love it.,

gray · 22-10-2005, 08:19

again, safari so goodi

stealthcow · 22-10-2005, 09:25

gah, theyve added del.icio.us as a default feature, hope it fails miserably

Transmogrify · 22-10-2005, 09:45

I downloaded and installed it and... It's Firefox, with a couple of extensions and a skin. How disappointing. What is this "tags" business about that you get with delicious and so on? It all seems like a complete waste of time to me. PGO, I'm with you on all that. It's bollocks. I don't have that many bookmarks that I can't find what I'm looking for. And I don't have the time to start "tagging" them for other people's benefit.

pgo · 22-10-2005, 21:27

del.icio.us is nice. I've found quite a number of great bookmarks I wouldn't have otherwise.

roto · 22-10-2005, 21:46

good for searching for sure, p.i.t.a. organizing your own area. But, I do use it.

stealthcow · 23-10-2005, 04:25

the reason im against del.icio.us is that its my main competition for a site im building, and its getting bigger by the day which will make my job harder!
