Firefox-based Social Browser Flock Launches

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hitting-the-streets dept.

daria42 writes "The much-hyped Flock, a new browser based on Mozilla Firefox and integrating features like RSS feeds, blogging tools, the del.icio.us social bookmarking and Flickr photo sharing services has just launched a public developer preview to the world. Flock is being driven by a team of developers being led by Bart Decrem, a well-known open source developer who co-founded the ill-fated Eazel project back in 1999 and has been involved with both the Mozilla and GNOME foundations. On his blog this week he says Flock won't be forking the Firefox codebase."

    So if you see it in your server logs, it's because the user is using Flock.

    What are you, Captain Obvious in disguise? Did you really think anybody on Slashdot would be so technically challenged that they wouldn't know this already?

    I don't need advice on karma, thanks. Mine's been excellent since before you joined.

    Glad you can read usernames though, that's right impressive...
