Today I ended up on this cool piece of software. Its name is Flock and is currently in beta. Basically, it is a new generation Internet browser, which has very handy integration with many famous Web services. It is based on the Mozilla technology. Although it is still in beta, I find it pretty stable. What I most like with it is that it has seamless integration with some popular Web 2.0 services like Flickr, Blogger, del.icio.us, which I personally adore. Actually, right now I am writing this post from the Flock browser itself, which on the other side will communicate with Blogger to publish the post.
What gives me the integration with del.icio.us? Well, I have tons of bookmarks and I am working on 3 machines - one at home, one at the office and my personal notebook. So I am indulged to sync my links among all these machines, which is really very tedious and boring task. Flock solves this using the del.icio.us service, which among all provides bookmark management to its clients. And it is free :)
Another story is the heap of pictures I got. I am currently using Yahoo!Photos for this purpose so every time I want to publish new album and pictures, I have to login there, create a new album, drag & drop the new pictures, etc. Now, I can to this with couple of clicks and drag & drops :) That is because Flock uses Flickr for photo management, which collaborates with Yahoo!Photos. Simple as that.
Well, the history shows that each Internet browser has it own particularities in regards to page rendering. Because my experience so far with Flock is not that much, I can't say whether it working sound. I read that it is based on Mozilla technologies so provided that most pages try to be compatible with Mozilla I guess that there won't be any problems. But will see ..
If you want to try out this browser, just go to its page and download it [link].

Would be interested to know if you have ever managed to publish to a yahoo blog using flock - I'm a fan of flock too , but can't seem to get it to publish to yahoo - I've tested loads of blogs, over at yahoo and blogspot which were fine, but yahoo eludes me for publishing from flock :(
