Flick and Flock

If there's one thing that Mozilla browsers are known to do well!

Flock

Flock is a browser with a whole host of features to social networks and blogs. Available for Mac, Linux and Windows offers a new browsing experience for those who, like myself, have multiple accounts on social networking sites (FaceBook, Twitter, YouTube, ...) and also wants to manage the RSS feeds so smooth and fast.

Installation

If you have FireFox (which do not have to uninstall) all your settings can be transferred in Flock during the first use cookies, passwords, bookmarks, you name it. After using Flock for a few minutes, I was tempted to remove the great FeedReader useless given the excellent management of the Flock's Feed.

Features

In addition to having many features similar to Firefox, which makes it immediately accessible, Flock allows you to:

  • Blog Editor
    Simple but effective editor for the publication of Post on our Blog. It supports both personal blog platforms like WordPress, Blogger and Live Journal. Excellent the "notes", the Web Clipboard, found in various sections of the browser
  • People Panel
    Using the simple drag and drop you can instantly share pictures and links with our contacts, recovered from Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Flickr
  • Media Bar
    Flock is able to automatically recognize many features when you enter a Web site (Blog or Social Network). For example, entering a YouTube or Flickr media bar will be opening at the top where you can scroll horizontally, allowing you to send videos and pictures or copy the content immediately
  • Search Engine
    The management of the research is fully customizable (as already happens with Firefox Open Search standard), allowing to easily add a variety of alternative search engines, both from a list proposed on the site of Flock is present through the automatic recognition a site
  • Plugins and extensions
    Even Flock as FireFox already has many extensions, a weapon that has proved successful because of FireFox. Some are specifically for Flock even if you can find some "porting" of known extensions for FireFox
  • Handling the photos
    Thanks to the Photo Uploader you can use an internal application to Flock to quickly send our photos to Flickr or Facebook.
