[Flock is] really excited and committed to the proliferation of OpenID and making it easier for users to use. Personally, I think the browser is the perfect, and frankly, sensible solution.

The fact that Flock has invested and partnered in developing this type of extension is an example of the kind of stuff we really want to see from Flock, and something we hope continues.

There’s all that annoying back and forth between browser windows while frantically trying to keep up with Twitter and Facebook and Flickr.

Help is on the way. A simple download of a simple browser using Mozilla’s Firefox architecture can change the way people browse and engage in social networking.

...if you love the Web’s social and media aspects, you might love Flock as much as I do.

Considering Flock's heavy emphasis on rich media interaction and including all this extra functionality out of the box, the resource improvements and overall polish make Flock 2 a great all-in-one tool for birds of a social feather.

But the best way to use Flock is to immerse yourself in the river of social updates it will feed your way...the product really does give you a more comprehensive and real-time view into your social network than you can get otherwise.

I found Flock productive and fun to use. I tested its special sidebar with my Facebook, Flickr, Picasa and YouTube accounts, and with my favorite news feeds. I also used another of Flock's features, which let me check my Gmail and Yahoo Web-mail accounts without navigating to their main pages. And I published several posts from within Flock to a test blog I maintain. All of this worked as promised.

Flock does a good job at the tasks it sets for itself...

By pre-populating a version of Flock with aggregated content targeting a particular interest group, for those users, the company is taking away the grudge work (and technical expertise) needed to benefit from RSS, whether it be in order to subscribe to pictures, text or video from a variety of sources. Instead, specific vertical content is conveniently bundled together into one neat little package, ready for consumption, and with Flock’s social features, sharing.

The new version is named Gloss and brings together Flock's browser technology with fashion and entertainment content from over 35 sources.

The skin isn’t the only thing that has changed. When you go digging into the RSS feeds and bookmarks you’ll see that they’ve already taken the liberty of populating them with the most popular fashion, celebrity news, lifestyle, shopping, and magazine websites from around the web.

By now we all know that Germany lost the EuroCup to Spain. To make up for some of the pain that Germans all over the world are feeling, Flock has launched a full German-language edition of their social browser. It's more than just a language translation - the browser is rich with German language content.
