Today marks the official release of the version 3.0 for the Firefox browser. But what does that mean for a product that has been designed, written and tested in public? There’s no surprise about what it does; that’s been clear for months. And you could get a nearly complete version of the software for the last several weeks.
Today’s release is really a marketing event to spread the word about Firefox, which currently has 18 percent of the browser market.

"Read the hype on every new web browser released or due out this year, and you'll see claims that every one of them is "faster" than all the others.

I'll admit, I had no idea what Flock was, or what a "social web browser" could possibly encompass, until I read this Wired article and decided to give it a try.
I have to say, I'm impressed. It integrates a ton of things into Flock. I like having my del.icio.us bookmarks available as in-browser bookmarks, and it picks up media streams like crazy (you can browse photos on Facebook as if they were a Flickr stream, for example).
I'd definitely recommend checking it out while you wait for Firefox 3.0 final, it should also gets a bit more plugin support.I'll admit, I had no idea what Flock was, or what a "social web... more
