I think it would be nice to have a flock account to save all your settings too, that way you can sync your flock browser with it from anywhere and you can access your own "my world" from anywhere too.
Then I could open up flock on my desktop or my laptop and everything would be there.

Hm this sounds a little too big brothery too me. There is Google Browser Sync for Firefox, which might suit your needs. It syncs tabs across multiple instances of Firefox, so you can close Firefox at work, come home and open it, and all your tabs are there.
Personally I'm a fan of FoxMarks, as it doesn't seem as spooky to me! But to each his own. ;)

"and you can access your own "my world" from anywhere too"
netvibes.com could be a substitute, but doesn't sync.

I don't know guys, if you look at Digsby (http://www.digsby.com) you'll see they pulled off globalization of settings.
I don't think it would be a bad idea to have a central name server if anything, tied to the very accounts we're using in their drupal system.
Central name servers only act as an aggregate for settings, no data is stored-- just like in the browser itself. I would absolutely love for all my settings in the Flock browser at work to be sync'd with the Flock browser on my laptop. Maybe not so much saving sessions-- that is definitely big brother-- but just namespaces and settings.
And speaking of integration! Why, why, WHY hasn't the FLOCK community been integrated with the browser?

I love Flock, because of it's online capabilities. Like, when I save a favorite to delicious on my home PC, it will be there when I launch my laptop. This works fine almost everywhere, except in Flock's settings!
Like, the My World looks completely different on both computers. This is really annoying I think. Will this be changed in future versions?
I think it can be changed in two ways:
- Using external sites. Like, it would be awesome if I could use Google Readers' feeds, so that the feeds are stored online. The same goes for YouTube: it would be great if Flock would check out my subscriptions and add them to the My World. This way, the videos on My World would always look the same on both computers.
- Or else using a "Flock account": a username and password which saves the feeds, youtube videos, etc to a central location on the web.
Something like this would be awesome!

Isn't that the point of Mozilla's Weave, which is currently in Beta?
