I downloaded Flock last night and promptly removed it from my machine after I found how slow it was.
Well well, this morning whilst catching up with some blog post, I came across this at the Cult of Mac blog. It seems that I didn’t download the beta but a stable version that ran like a pig. I remember trying flock out on Windows when everyone was raving about it. It was just too slow for me, so it was removed from my machine very quickly.
Essentially Flock is Firefox with all these little social network goodies for Facebook, Flickr, de.licio.us and other things built into it. This post is being written in Flock’s built-in blog editor which doesn’t seem too bad.
If you’re a Firefox and Facebook user, you will love Flock. All Firefox settings and bookmarks are imported seamlessly. It feels the same as Firefox but sometime the interface seems a little cluttered. I think that with a little tweaking I could change this.
I might try Flock out for a while. Who knows, I might be pleasantly surprised.
