Flock, the Web 2.0 Browser?
escay writes "Cardinal, the Beta 1 version of Firefox-based browser Flock, was released Tuesday with many polished features. Some of the features include drag-and-drop photo uploading for Flickr and Photobucket, an in-built RSS aggregator, direct blogging tool, and shared favorites/bookmarks. In step with Web 2.0 philosophy, Flock provides a rich user-centric experience, making it easier to bring information to the user and vice versa. It is available for Linux/Mac/Windows, and you can download it here. (And for those of you trying to get Flash working in Firefox on an AMD64 Linux machine, try this and be pleasantly surprised!)"
Dropping into a seizure because of all the blinky lights and animated characters is more like it.
$7.95/mo, 200 GB disk, 2TBxfer, MySQL, PHP, RoR.
...just to be clear, will this still be backwards compatible with the old version of the web?

Its like AOL for firefox :)
He who knows not and knows he knows not is a wise man. He who knows not and knows not he knows not is a fool.
Looks to me like a web browser, with extentions for all the things people who think the world cares what they say and have an ego so big it needs a 2.0 need in a browser - blogs and photos.
But seriously, anything that keeps teens out of the real world where they would be destroying things or taking jobs away from hard working illegal aliens, I'm 100% behind!
Go Flock yourself!

It seems that it has some really sweet features for locking files. Though I have to admit I don't see quite how to use it to browse the web.

flock [-sxon][-w #] file [-c] command...
