Flock

21Oct05

So I got an e-mail this morning from flock (which is a revolutionary new browser built on the firefox code base, in case you didn’t know) and it told me that I had been chosen for a developer preview!  Yep, I am writing to you from the new integrated blog publisher.  And yes… it is completely awesome.  Sure it’s still in beta–0.5 “pre”-beta to be exact and it still has some kinks (like the favorites manager, full compatibility with firefox plugins, and it’s still a bit slow working through the interface) although it looks to be very promising.  I already love this browser and have only been using it for 2 hours!  So there you have it… go the flock.com enter your e-mail and maybe they’ll e-mail you to beta test too… it’s so awesome.

An excerpt from the e-mail for you:

Hello friends of Flock,

We can’t wait any longer. Today, we are pleased to invite you to try what will very soon become the Flock Developer Preview.

“Developer Preview?” you ask?

Well, let’s put it this way. We know there are some good ideas already baked into Flock — inspired by the way we all already use the web. And we’ve been busting our butts to get the code out there so we can start getting feedback from the bleeding edge.

We are working as fast and as hard as humanly possible to get the browser to a quality to support users, not just developers and we are putting the infrastructure to create an open community where we hope everyone will feel welcome. We are a small team and would love your assistance in making this happen!

So there you have it, in the spirit of open source, here’s how to get the Flock Developer Preview.
