I just downloaded and installed Flock, the new browser built on the Mozilla platform. I’ve only been using it for about 5 minutes now. It was very easy to setup and import my favorites, but it also ran me through the config for my Flickr account and my WordPress blog for easy uploading and updating.

Upsides: the Flickr add in is awesome. I may be more likely to upload pics more often now that a nice upload tool is in my browser.

I’m posting this blog from the browser. No need to go to my site’s admin page to post.

Downsides: In Firefox there are favorite folders that can go in the horizontal favorites bar. So it’s like having multiple favorites drop downs. Flock only allow for links in the horizontal bar, no folders. Maybe they’ll add it later.

The blog tool doesn’t have an image insert button. No big deal for me because I can drop the image code in the source but for novice bloggers, they might find it annoying that they can’t easily insert a picture for their blog entry.

Hey it’s still beta and improvements can be made. I sure do love new toys though.
