Flock is a free web browser built on the Mozilla Firefox architecture.
Flock aggregates social networks, social media, webmail and related tools within the browser interface. With these tools you can keep your friends and media with you while you browse, and interaction with and between them is as simple as drag and drop. Flock has 23 services integrated, including Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter, and Digg. Along with these service integrations, Flock’s built-in blog editor and photo uploader deliver a whole browsing experience that is unparalleled by conventional browsers.

The new Flock is the first social media browser to organize and manage social media, email and search, all on one screen. Flock’s unique scrolling sidebar incorporates all social networking posts and tweets to one side of the computer’s screen, allowing users to control the way digital data comes to them.
The New Flock helps you discover the best of the modern Web, easily managing valued relationships and cutting through the clutter online. It keeps people connected with their friends and favorite content in real time, while surfing the Web. For example, consumers can now Group people, topics and information so that they can “channel surf” the Web and switch the Flock Sidebar view so to see and engage with the conversations and information they find most interesting at any given moment. The new Flock browser is also the best place to easily search a personal social network with a new feature, What Your Friends are Saying. And, as the first major browser other than Google Chrome to be built on the Chromium platform, the new Flock is superfast.
Flock is available for a free download at www.flock.com
