I think it would be awesome - the media bar would really come into its own, and I'd love to see a sidebar with all your account options down to the left so we can submit art on the fly and also post to our journals etc
deviantART support is a HUGE deal to me. I think that this could be implemented far more easily than you might think. The Firefox plugins Deviant Link and Deviant Copy Paste already have a lot of the features that Flock should (in my opinion) have, including rolling image previews, strong sidebar project bookmarking, and much more. The only thing they lack is the integration with flock that is necessary to make them really work. Perhaps some ideas could be pulled from these when looking at incorporating deviantART into Flock. Just a thought. I think that there is a huge potential user base at deviantART just waiting to be tapped.
Artitekt: Part of it has to do with how we integrate services. Essentially, we want to do it the "right" way or not do it at all. For example, we could have integrated MySpace in the People bar but it would have been slow, brittle, and limited in features. If we can integrate deviantART the right way we are much more likely to integrate. That mainly depends on them having an API, which I don't think they have...so email those deviantART folks for an API! :)

dA would be a great add to this already great browser. What better way to utilize the media bar than adding deviantART support? I'm not much of an artist myself, but I do love browsing the art on there, and a way keeping track of my favorite artists through Flock would be a great add.
It er, allows application programmers to interface their software (such as Flock) with another product (such as Deviant Art) via documented functions and procedure calls.
Vote. Could there at least be a "this really doesn't work, please for the love of FSM don't even think about the existence of this undocumented bug any longer" add-on version on some obscure Russian website? Or something like that....
Instead of DA..could you do like an integrated Piclens type thing? Piclens in FF is a great extention that crashes Flock i have found.. but looks and kinda feels like this is what flock is all about.. but if you cant.. put a vote in for DA for me as well

My vote too! Also as far as I can remember you can have friends in DA so couldn't it technically be placed in the people sidebar.

API = Application Programmers Interface.
It er, allows application programmers to interface their software (such as Flock) with another product (such as Deviant Art) via documented functions and procedure calls.
