As you may or may not know, I use the social browser Flock and loving it — except it doesn't support WordPress' tagging system :-( — but today I noticed something strange.

And I owe it all to the new beta (release candidate 3) of the social browser Flock.
I've been testing the beta for some time now, but it wasn't until now that I discovered the actual power of the People sidebar. Whenever people update their profile on Facebook, the sidebar updates itself. I can also choose [...]

After running alpha builds of the 1.1 I just got my invitation to the private beta of the upcoming 1.0 version of the social web browser Flock.
Duncan Riley at TechCrunch feels the same way about Flock 1.0 as I do: Flock 1.0 Beta Released: Surprisingly Very Good
I'm not going to go further into the functionality [...]

The Flock team has introduced the 1.0 version of the social web browser at TechCrunch 40.
One of the new features in the new version, that I've had the change to test in a nightly build of Flock, is the People sidebar. What is basically does is, that it, for instance, shows your Facebook friends in [...]

Just saw that The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Microsoft might be very interesting in investing in social startup Facebook.
Facebook has — according to the WSJ — 40 million users, and Microsoft (and apparently also Google) is now trying to grab a piece of the action.
Microsoft's approach to Facebook in recent weeks with proposals [...]

I use the online feed reader Bloglines to manage and view my various feeds.
Today, when I looked at referrers to this blog and came across beta.bloglines.com.
As you may have guessed it's a beta version of the upcoming Bloglines — and so far I think it looks good.
The first thing you notice, is that you can [...]

This is probably old news already, but as the BBC reports, social networking site Facebook has bought Parakey a startup by two of the founders of the Firefox project, Blake Ross and Joe Hewitt.
Even though the Parakey.com site doesn't offer much enlightenment on exactly what kind of project this is, Wikipedia has an interesting article [...]

From now I'm testing Flock 0.9 Beta, the new beta release of the social browser, which lets you do tons of stuff directly in the browser.
I've only just installed it, so I haven't really noticed anything different from 0.8.0.99 except better stability.
As a great feature the Flock guys have created a page, where you can [...]
