Blogging with Flock
Over at the forum, mibi has been keeping up a continuing stream of freeware spotting. Flock, the social browser has been in development forever - now it's matured to 1.0 status. I've put it in an Altiris SVS layer for the evaluation for the time being and am typing this blog on it. (Can't get it to work with Microsoft Live Spaces but the Bleeding Edge is working fine so far). Flock has some landmark features - I am a Flickr user and there are two enriching features. I can see all my Flickr contacts on the sidebar (hmmm, what about Microsoft Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger contact?) and when I click on one, the content pane fills with their Flickr details. Then a Media Stream Toolbar self discovers their gallery of photos and I get a sideways scrollable thumbnail strip on the top of Flock. This gallery - Media Stream works with YouTube and other social sites as well. Problem though. I'm running out of screen space.... To think we ever survived on 800x600 pixels. Oops, as I publish, the Categories feature of the Blogging does not display the existing categoriesBlogged with Flock
