Firefox-based Social Browser Flock Launches
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."
Hmm... it has gradients... it has shadows... why, this must be Web 2.0!
The "Go back" and "Go forward" buttons have merged into an all powerful "stay here" button.
A social browser is what you contract from visiting too many websites.
...is an anti-social browser.
...led by Bart Decrem...
That should be Badr Decrem.
The view was horrible and the smell was even worse; Julie severely regretted becoming a proctologist.
From installation to uninstallation in 10 minutes...
Yeah, I've already got a browser that works for me. Thanks anyway flockers...
Yes.
hey! wots ur probablem. i think its cool that theres a browser for peeps my age. our needs are different from yours and this browser addresses it. if you dont like it the use something else! its not like u have any friends anyways. i gonna tell all my friends at school about this and get them to download it! social browsing will let us share pics, stories, and news thats important to us. and thats wot the internet is all about -- sharing! its not like its targetted towards fat smelly hippies anyways.
peace out
Because real men surf with Vi, right?
...and loved the suggestion that you know what a "real social life" is. That was a hoot. Keep 'em coming. I'm sure you'll be here all week.)

As if we really needed more bloggers in the world...
I totally just came up with a new word that emo teen freaks can use: flock'd! It's when your blog is innundated with hits from other Flock-using emo punks because your woe-is-me blog just hit 3rd place on the Flock Top Ten Blogs list.
That, or when you're playing football and you get cleats square in your gonads. You're flock'd then, too.

People with blogs and flickr accounts should all be put to work in a VW manufacturing factory, all while listening to "Afternoon Delight" over and over again on their iPods until their eyes bleed. We'll have to find a word to combine "yuppie" "sheep" and "pretentions asshole".
Eat my Karma baby. It's soooo worth it.
I was going to chastize you for falling for a fairly obvious satirical post, however after reading the guy's other comments, he's dead serious.
Spot on, my good man. Spot on.
Web 2.0 = Coke 2.0
Sorry, I thought that in order to karma whore we could just post any old crap and get modded up...
You have to post insightful, interesting, or otherwise worthy comments if you want your message moderated up.
