Weaving a Web

Flock – An awesome browser

Posted by Phoenixritu January 6, 2009, under Uncategorized | 15 Comments


Okay people, I want to share an interesting find with you – a browser that beats our Firefox and Google Chrome browser hollow.   You can read about it here

Okay okay, don’t throw a bucket full of chilled water on me and dampen my enthusiasm. My boys have already done that. I hate it when they wait until I am literally jumping up and down with my latest technical discovery and then shrug their shoulders and say …. But Mom we already know about it – its been around for ages.

It’s like I switch on the ignition with a “Guess what I found today” and the moment they make eye contact, I shift to first gear with an excited introduction of the thing, then as they say Unhunh, I go on to second gear with its features and my reactions … and then hit the third and revv up …….

Then comes the rain on my party  :(

But Mom, we already know about it – it’s been around for ages

Sulk

But nothing can rain on my parade today. This browser is most awesome. It combines Firefox and Social networking all together. It makes it simple to check out updates on blogs and all my contacts too. It is so people friendly and has Twitter, Digg etc etc all in one place.

Check it out and download it here

The tutorial they have will tell you all you need to know.

    It does, it does ... am more tech savvy than the younger gen!!! LOL

  3. this is new... have to check this !!

    Great!!

  4. I have used this, the only thing which I felt was, there are no add - ons and apps which are the most important part of firefox.

    In comparison to Google chrome, I guess this is a better bet.

    I like having twitter, digg, facebook and myspace all together, and love the feed application. Chrome is chunky in comparision

  5. Interesting,thanks for sharing

    You are welcome Daanish

  6. Even if others trash you discovery, you should be glad you're capable of making tech discoveries! My greatest tech discovery to date has been the blog :P

    LOL D :P

  7. i consider u more tech savvy than me..anyyyday.. i hadnt heard of the browser till you mentioned it. will check it out.

    Thank you *dancing a happy jig*

  8. oh btw, i think google chrome sucks... it makes my system hang every single time i use it! i think mozilla is btr than google chrome.

    Chrome is chunky

    Hey Ritu

    Long time no see. How you been?

    I was trying to salvage the economy and trying to figure out how to spend( uh...invest) the 700 billion dollars. You see, saving the world is a tough joba and makes you forget the friends. I ain't no superhero (who would want to wear your clothes in reverse order, anyways? Especially when they are so tight)

    Any new stories you wrote while I was working 18 hours a day?

    Cheers
    Rohit


    LOL Rohit, the role of a superhero suits you, just change the working clothes eh? Such hard work for 700 billion dollars - should have wire-transfered to me, I pwomise I would have taken good care of them - just like if they belonged to me ;)

    Wrote a few. Doing an interstellar one - with warp speed and all that

  11. I know! I read this is a tech blog couple of days back and author was all for it. I'm sure it's awesome

    It is :D

  12. you are so much like a siren of Homer's Odyssey,luring us to all these awesome sites .. :D
    it is fantabulous .thanks buddy

    You are welcome Tikuli

  13. I have been using Fire fox for several years now .... no harm trying and seeing something new :) I like the idea of checking blog updates more conveniently!

    Me too

  14. Great info...
    I can see where you're coming from ;)
    Keep going...

    LOL Afaque, aren't you smart?

  15. I have used Flock before. But I grew tired of it. But at that time, I used to survive on dial-up. I'll give it a second shot - will see how it performs on my fiery new broadband! :)

    Try it Rajat, it is awesome
