    Flock

    Flock is
    described as a social browser. I'm not sure how applicable that
    description is because access to social communication sites is only
    part of what Flock does.

    In just a few minutes after starting
    the program, I was able to link it to some of my Weblog sites:
    LiveJournal (Am0), Blogger (Am's rAmbles), and Xanga (WordJames and
    Am0) but not Tripod (WordJames) or WordPress (I'm not quite sure what
    it's called). Plus I was able to access some RSS feeds. Now I'm editing
    this entry on Flock, even though I prefer w.blogger for making
    LiveJournal entries because of its superior HTML capabilities.

    Until 
    discovering Flock, I was using a variety of browsers and other tools to
    access or maintain my Weblogs: Firefox, Opera, w.blogger, Am0.us,
    WordJames.name, Xanga and Tripod. I would like to be able to access all
    of them with a single interface. I've fallen short of that goal with
    Flock, but it is a step in the right direction.

    Flock is based
    on the Mozilla Gecko machine, just like Firefox, SeaMonkey and Mozilla.
    When I signed on to Flock for the first time, it asked me if I wanted
    it for my default browser. I declined. Now I'm more tempted to make it
    the default. I'm certainly going to give it a workout over the next few
    days.
