Flock Redesigns, Releases Beta

Jun 13, 2006 in , , ,

Everyone’s favorite do-it-all web browser, Flock, has just achieved two great milestones. Along with the long-awaited release of their first beta (v0.7), Flock welcomes a new website designed by the talented Bryan Veloso of Avalonstar fame. Flock’s new website is the first major project for Bryan’s new company that is sure to create astounding things. The design is very slick and a much appreciated upgrade over the older, barebones design. The new site also conveys the new features of Flock much better. A previous problem of Flock was just describing what it can do to other people. However, the new site covers all the bases with flash videos quickly going through each key feature as well as a tour of the browser.

You can expect a thorough review of Flock’s first beta right here in the next day or so. If Flock sounds familiar to you, you might be remembering my review of the developer’s preview of Flock several months ago. Things have definitely changed since then. In the meantime, why not download a copy of Flock for yourself? Oh and while you’re on the download page, be sure to check out the “Raves” section where I’ve been quoted.

  1. Looks pretty nice. Im going to download it and then post a comment about what i think.

  2. Actually I really like the spellcheck feature. The Flock website redesign is definitely sweet…

  3. Excellent, I will give the new version a go. Good gig for Bryan too!

  4. Flock really has grown.

    Great to see a new site design and a fresh new release.

  5. I’m still stuck on Safari and Camino is my second browser, but seeing how Flock really integrates blogging into its feature set I may give the beta a try in the near future.

  6. After using Firefox for quite a while now, the transition to Flock seemed less obvious. A thumbs-up to the 3 prominent features which were lacking in Firefox. But I couldn’t get 2 of them working on my system. Firstly, I couldnt connect to Flickr, altho connection to Photobucket worked fine. Next, I wasnt able to set up my blog account on JRoller.com. These blockers dampened my Flock experience. Once I get them working, there is no reason for me to choose any of the other available browsers.

  7. Looks like YAW2.0WS. Pretty, but unspectacular.

    BTW, do you get paid to write all these articles in the “gushing press release” style, or do you consider it work experience for a future career in marketing/PR?

    … and the douche-bag comment of the day award goes to… George.

  9. Because the best way of dealing with what a person has to say is to insult them, right?

    This is the new future of journalism? No criticisms allowed, either of the product or the journalism. Awesome-o.

  4. [...] Then I read Paul Stamatiou’s review of the Flock beta and thought it was time to try it out. I have been very pleasantly surprised. After a quick review of the key features at the site, (which has some natty flash movies showing the key features), I downloaded all the extensions I thought I might need (there’s a few listed on the Flock site itself, but apparently most Firefox extensions work okay with it, given it’s the same code base) and fired it up.
