A few days ago, the social web browser Flock released version 2.5 of their software, integrating Facebook Chat, improving Twitter functionality, and adding a new broadcasting feature called "Flockcast." As we evaluated the upgrade, a thought occurred to us: this browser should be the epitome of everything we love about the (Read More)
: One complaint I've heard lately regarding Flock pertains to it being slower than other browsers and it isn't as "upgradable". (Firefox 3.0 was one example given). Personally, I just started using Flock and like it this far.
: I think it still might catch on with social media producers. It is not mainstream and even social media types are slow to react. Firefox has so much more action on the plugins & addons, we hear about them all the time. When the functions are built-in, they may work better, but they're not as exciting.
As far as performance goes, until the Mozilla-based browsers handle tabs like Chrome does, FF & F are going to be p-a-i-n-f-u-l-l-y s-l-o-w, at least the way we all seem to use them (with 25 tabs open and half of them running real-time apps.)
: Couple of issues with Flock. #1, it's a memory hog, #2, the socmed tools it provides are not that unique.
The only feature it provides that I really like is the inline feed reader, which is highly useful and removes the need for google reader. But, there are firefox add-ons that do the same thing. If you really want everything in your browser, you can do most of the same stuff with the Yoonoo sidebar.
All in all, there's just not enough reason to choose flock over Firefox.

: This is a great article Charles. I really love the point about network with prospects rather than networking to get prospects. After all if you put out entertaining, enlightening, or educational content prospects will find their way back to our site where we can network till our heart's content.

: It was funny to see 'needing a hubby' from a guy. :-) Your article is spot on, though, because just getting a name on your list doesn't mean much of anything. This is even more true in the age of social media where the buyer has all the power. Consumers have gotten much more savvy and are demanding high quality products and excellent customer service. All honest biz owners should applaud this development.

I received a Tweet from wonderful Twitter friend, Mark. He was asking why he hadn't heard anything from me lately and I dissociated as I thought about the fact that I haven't written any articles in at least a week.
