Looks like the developer preview of Flock came out while I was on CX317. It’s certainly generating a lot of buzz. I’m playing with it right now, in fact this entry is posted using the built-in blog editor, where I can enter either raw HTML or use the rich-text editor; both are kept in sync on the fly. But annoyingly the rich-text editor keeps putting out superfluous <br /> tags. Some more impressions:

• Much faster than Firefox 1.0, as Flock is based on Firefox 1.5.
• Did not migrate my Firefox 1.0 settings. Others have noticed this too.
• Nice tools to work with del.ico.us and Flickr, but I don’t use them both. Seems there will be a way to extend Flock to integrate with other photo galleries and bookmark sites in the future though.

Overall, pretty slick. I will have to play around with it a bit more though. Also, can all the features be added to Firefox via extensions?
