So I downloaded Flock web browser yesterday because I have heard a lot of good things about it… I am pleasantly surprised!  The browser is basically Firefox without the memory leak problems that can bring your web browsing session to a screeching halt.

The beauty of Flock is that it comes standard with tons of awesome features that a typical Firefox user would need a memory intensive extension to have.

1) My World start page
The “My World” start page is a nice little start-page that contains your Favorites, RSS feeds, and access to the other cool flock tools all in one place.

2) People Sidebar
The People Sidebar is your in-browser connection to the social networking world.  Login to Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, or YouTube and get instant access to all of your social networking goodies in your sidebar.  Pretty awesome stuff!

3) My Media Bar
My Media Bar opens at the top of the browser and contains Media streams for whatever page your visiting at the time… If you’re on your friends facebook page, you will see all of their images lined at the top of the browser for you to browse.

4) Feeds Bar
The Feeds bar serves as a list of RSS feeds for you to choose from.  It’s clean and simple to use.

5) Favorites Bar
Pretty much your typical favorites sidebar here, but one cool addition is that you can setup online favorites that basically sync with the Flock server to give you access to your favorites from any computer.

6) Accounts and Services Bar
Serves as a single location for your sidebar account information including your people, media sharing, blogging, and online favorites.

7) Web Clipboard
One of the cooler features of Flock is the Web Clipboard where you can drag images and text selections to save for later use. 

8.) Blog Editor
Another awesome feature is the blog editor… even if you don’t use one of the blog services listed in the drop down, you can put in your blog url and credentials and then blog from anywhere in your browser seamlessly. Actually, I’m using the Blog Editor right now to write this!

9) Photo Uploader
Want to upload some photos to a site?  Use the photo uploader… upload in bulk by folder, or single files… either way, this is an awesome feature!

10) NO FIREFOX MEMORY LEAKS AND CRASHES!
Enough said… Flock actually takes care of the common memory leaks and crashes that Firefox users commonly endure.

So without further rambling, DOWNLOAD FLOCK and see what I’m talking about!
