Flock Delivers On Promises Post 1.0

Linux.com has a quick look back at the social web browser Flock, now that it has passed the 1.0 hurdle. The main complaint seems to be sensory overload, but there are definitely some interesting tidbits in there. "Version 1.1 really shines in its enhancements to the MyWorld page, including the Friend Activity Feed. Once you've logged into all your social networking services, you can drag and drop messages from one friend to another. For example, if Sally makes a good restaurant suggestion via Twitter, I can drag that message to John's Twitter icon in my sidebar and he'll receive a link to view Sally's message. If a particularly interesting picture comes across my Flickr feed, I can drag it over to a contact on Facebook, and he'll receive a notification to view the image."

Personally, I think that too much web social interaction is a bad thing. People are forgetting how to interact face to face.

Face-to-face? Is that like when you put your Myspace pic on a page next to someone else's?

Personally, I think that too much web social interaction is a bad thing. People are forgetting how to interact face to face. Whatever, dude. I met this chick on myspace a couple months back, and ever since then she's been sending me all these great jokes and virus warnings and cool stuff like that. Just the other day, I noticed she had put me as one of her top 8 friends. I'm pretty sure that means we're going steady. If everything keeps going like this, I might even link to her blog on my blog. After that, we're practically married anyway, so it's only a matter of time before she agrees to cyber with me.

I especially liked how intuitive it was to eject a CD from the drive. Just Drag the CD Icon over the trash.. and..

Wait, that didn't make sense...
