Flock, the Web 2.0 Browser?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the little-more-hype-please dept.

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!)"

    ...just to be clear, will this still be backwards compatible with the old version of the web?

    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.
