I know it’s heavy and sometimes buggy, but this new version is making my eyes sparkle!
The good think about Flock is the easy fun! Just Drag and Drop Fun!
And I really really love the smalls thinks like snippet bar and multiple fav bars.
I will give a try in the new one!

When any software edits my data, I want to know about it. After seeing the effect it had on my archive of bookmarks, I decided it was not worth any more similar surprises.

Flock is an interesting concept but it’s delivery and, frankly, the company’s voice and presence online are extremely hyperbolic — a lot of what’s wrong with the whole Web 2.0 vibe, to be truthful.

To each his own.

after a while it eats out an awful LOT of RAM, at least on my 2GB macbook and 1,5GB linux (centos) machine

so, sometimes it’s still a memory hog for slower machines or with “few” RAM …

Gave up… returned to the real Firefox for any number of reasons.

Although I was a big user of Firefox on Windows, since I switch to the Mac I dropped it, manly because I found it slow (to say the least). In Mac I started using Safari that delivers well but is, well, boring. Camino could be a nice browser but I consider it boring too and with a big lack of add-ons. I tried Opera and liked some things including the note taking, the mail integration and the widgets… but, still, I couldn’t make the jump. I also tested the new alpha of OmniWeb which is quite appealing and super fast; in fact I was ready to dump 15 US$ when I decided to give Flock another chance (I had tried 0.7 and didn’t find it that great).

Oh, my… The capacities and, specially, the potential! I’m a blogger and I use del.icio.us and ma.gnolia as my support on the blog. P.E.R.F.E.C.T. I’m looking forward to future developments: it’s on the right track!
