Flock

Well, it's not much of a name, and it is still pretty much alpha stage, but the new Flock browser looks very promising.

Based on mozilla, it seems to be trying to build itself around webservices, which means a more interactive way of using the web. I'm writing this post in the Flock editor now, and there is built-in support of services such as flickr and del.icio.us. Not that all that isn't possible from, say, Firefox with a few extensions. It's just a new, integrated approach which may make some web-based applications more immediately useable for a range of people.

One thing -- writing and posting this was pretty quick and easy.

It will be interesting to watch.
