I’d actually read about it before but hadn’t thought much about it. But recently, I’ve begun to start using some of the web 2.0 technologies and this new browser is supposed to have a lot of features built in that integrate nicely with web 2.0 sites.

I just installed it about an hour ago and have been playing around with it a little bit. I’ll give a more through review of it after I’ve used it for a little while.

Before I had downloaded it, I had skimmed through a couple of reviews of it. One thing that I had noticed was that a reviewer had mentioned that it was a bit resource intensive for older computers. You can read more about that review here

I am using a bit of an older computer and it’s using 131,380 K of memory. It’s fairly close to firefox, but a bit more resource intensive from my not too scientific survey.

Flock is based on Mozilla Firefox codebase with additional functionalities. So far I’ve added my facebook into it and am testing the feed reader.

I haven’t really used feed reader’s too much; but will start giving it a try.

There’s also supposed to be the capability to post to blogs more easily with this browser; so hopefully I’ll be able to post more regularly. I’ll continue to give you feedback and updates as I use it and test it out over the next couple of weeks.

There’s also integration with flickr or photobucket. I haven’t used my flickr account in ages as I had hit the maximum of 250 pictures and hadn’t wanted to upgrade to a premium account. So I had migrated over to picasa.

I’ll have to dig up my flickr account again and see how it integrates; or I could always try out photobucket…

We’ll keep you updated.
