A Taste Of Flock

As you can probably tell I am messing around with Flock. I have it tied into my YouTube, FaceBook, and Flickr accounts.
Click This Image to see my screen:
Just when I thought I was staying up to date with the status of my Facebook friends, Flock brings it one step closer. Now while browsing the web I get to see who’s doing what all the time. Lets see whats going on:
Barry is twittering, Richard is hungry and Rebecca is happy some one brought in food that has holes in the center.
Thats good stuff!
At the top of my browser I have Flock tied into my Flickr account. I suppose this is really narcissistic of me because almost every picture I am looking at is of me. Perhaps to get the best use of this I should have it tied into my friends Flickr account but lets be real, most of my friends are not as nice to look at and if I have to look at faces all day long while browsing the web, they might as well be mine.
In all seriousness my first impression of Flock is that it is busy, but I guess thats the point. Its a social persons browser.
I like to think I am a social person and I can see at some point this type of product would be useful once it ties in all things such as Instant Messenger, video conferencing, document sharing and Skype. Thats my idea of a kick-ass browser. Let me share, view and speak with everyone at once, in real time.
I think right now having all these “social” things in front of me while working is more of a distraction, at least for what I do on a daily basis. Then again, if your one of the few who manage to make a living by being social then I think Flock is for you.

Adam I have this thing that allows me to share, view and speak with everyone at once in real-time as well. It’s called an operating system.

Thanks for the great post Adam. From the screen shot, it looks pretty sweet. I’ll play around with it.
