Have You Discovered Flock Yet?
If you have been in Internet marketing for long, you have probably long since switched to Firefox as your internet browser of choice. I know I took me a while to care about the difference between IE and FF but once I had to make the change for a coaching program I was on, I was sold on Firefox.
Well, I thought I was happy with Firefox and except for one thing i missed form IE, I think FF has far surpassed IE in EVERY way. Till now!
Enter Flock. Now before you pass this post by read with me a bit longer. Flock takes all the best pints of Firefox and takes it 200% more. Flock is actually built on the same Mozilla platform as Firefox so it really isn’t that different. Only Flock has at least two features I squealed for joy when I saw them.
#1 favorites in the sidebar - I missed this in Firefox. That is one thing IE had that Firefox didn’t. Well, Flock has one upped even IE in this department. It has a clean, color coded organized look to it with a nicely prominent search just for your favorites. Now, Firefox does have a search but I never saw it before but in Flock it is right there right on top and ready to use. Did you lose track of where you stuck a certain bookmark, well, here is the search you need! I lost where I had tucked the Lego site way down in one of my files. Search brought it up right away! yes!
#2 social sidebar (!) yup you can tweet and follow your friends right in you sidebar. You can add Digg and Facebook, too. It updates right along, too so out of the side of your eye while working on the main part of yor window you can see when someone updates in Twitter. Now you don’t have to leave the Poeple sidebar up all the time but it is nice to have it up when you do want it.
#3 one touch add to your favorite Reader. Now I know it is there is Firefox, but in Flock there is a bright orange RSS button in the address bar that lights when a site has RSS. So, should you want to add the blog or news feed to your favorite reader, it takes just a touch (well, you do need to choose it as your default reader in Tools>Options>Applications and find Web Feed and choose your reader, mine is Google) But once you have configured your default reader, just clicking that button adds the feed to Google. Now all your feeds can be read in central place.
#4 more of a side note: You do have the option to read all your feeds in Flock in a sidebar. While I don’t use this feature, you may find it useful.
You can use nearly all the Firefox add-ons with Flock, too. I am a very happy customer.
