So last night, I downloaded and installed the latest 2.0.0.14 release of Firefox (I’m just not ready for beta3 yet). I’ve been a Flock supporter for about two years now, but it was just time to switch. It wasn’t necessarily anything that Flock did that made me go back to Firefox. It was what it […]
Flock doesn’t get Twitter
Overall, I like Flock. It’s a good browser, and so far, it’s been better to me than Firefox 2. The media bar is an amazing concept that was implemented very well. And the media uploading function works great. Flock is smooth and reliable, and I’m loving the experience, even without most of my add-ons. But […]
Firefox 3 beta – CRUNCH
Well, I installed the Firefox v3 beta release 1 today, and promptly uninstalled it just five minutes later. See just why below: The only other program I had actively running was MS Word and Yahoo! Widgets. I had only 2 tabs open, Google Reader and Evil Avatar. Within just two minutes, Firefox had frozen my […]
Back to Firefox
With everything going on recently, and me being so incredibly busy with side projects, I completely forgot to mention that I switched back to Firefox over the holidays. I’m still a tremendous supporter of Flock and will continue to track its progress, but I simply can’t use the pre-1.0 version of the software. Not until […]
Social software: the Obi-Wan Kenobi of the web
There’s a conversation going on right now regarding social software and its usefulness and, to some extent, its perceived longevity. Ryan Carson really started the discussion by detailing why he doesn’t use any web-based social software, and why he doesn’t expect the concept to truly take off and transform into more viable public-use services. But […]
Songbird isn’t singing to me
In a previous post, I referred to the Songbird Firefox build as "an unfortunate waste of code." This comment prompted Rob Lord–one of the principal Songbird developers–to ask me in the comments of that post why I felt that way towards their product. I guess the wonders of Technorati keep even this obscure little blog […]
My Flock experience – part the First
Day one using Flock, and I must admit, I'm coming away impressed so far. Flock's integration with various forms of social "web 2.0" functionality and awareness makes my Firefox implementation look pitiful. A messy mash of extensions and bookmarks that is nothing but clutter. Flock is clean and personalized to an alarming degree. I'm actually […]
Will Firefox users flock to Flock?
Link: Flock The new kid on the block, Flock, is supposedly launching their first public beta sometime this afternoon/evening/night (version 0.7 — internally referred to as "Cardinal"). The theory behind the new browser is basically web 2.0. It's social. It's efficient. It's integrated. Bookmarks are stored on del.icio.us and displayed within the browser via a […]
