Flock Redesigns, Releases Beta

June 13, 2006 · 13 comments

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.
