I was about to write about Flock, the super hypeware: all bloggers were preparing us for the next big thing. Anybody who had seen the beta was anticipating on a RE-VO-LU-TIO-NA-RY browser. In the end we get:
integrated RSS feeds (Safari has been doing that for years, same for Firefox)
allows posting to del.icio.us (can be done with a bookmarklet, I understand it is a power user thing but don’t tell me we needed a new browser for that!)
allows easy blog posts (same as del.icio.us)
has a lousy interface (these guys tried to reinvent the wheel for standard actions, trying to be different where it is BAD to be different)
the slowest browser on the market
As I was about to loudly complain I stumbled upon Steve Rubel’s review, and his article says it all. So don’t listen to me, click here.
At this point, Flock is useless.
