The Firefox-based, social focused browser Flock dropped out a new Developer Release
today - bringing the version to v5.1.1. It's available for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux
My highlights from
the Release Notes:
Import from
Firefox \ IE \ Opera \ Mozilla - Cookies, Passwords (but no Extensions)
Additional Favorites
Sharing - Shadows.com as well as del.icio.us
Flickr Uploader - Drag and Drop into the
Shelf to upload
Flicker Photo Browser - Search by Tag, Person, Text
Maps in
Topbar - Drag an address and see it mapped
Technorati in Topbar - Direct query of
current page into Technorati
This is a very interesting release, the integration with these web services
shows the type of rich experience that can be pulled from the APIs available from the content owners.
It
does appear to be Yahoo! focused (Flickr \ del.icio.us \ Yahoo! Maps), but that could be from my Firefox import. A
first glance through the Options doesn't show me where to change this.
Remember, this is a pre-Beta release
and so prone to crash and have issues. To take a look, grab it from here.
