Flock 0.9 is out

I posted about Flock before. It’s a Firefox based web browser that is centered around the social web. My evaluation of the release of Flock I was using previously (I’ll have to check the version) was mediocre. I felt they were heading in the right direction but they weren’t quite there yet. From what I read last night on Download Squad it looks like they’ve made vast improvements and here I am testing it out again (I making this post in Flock). Here are a list of features from Download Squad’s post:
My World: Flock tells you when your friends have new photos and videos and when you have new feeds. My World gives quick access to your recently visited favorite sites as well.
Account Detection: Informs you when there are available feeds and media streams on a page and when your account log-in can be configured with Flock.
Video Support: Find YouTube and Truveo videos with the Media Minibar.
Online Favorites: Easily post your favorites to del.icio.us and ma.gnolia.
Drag’n'Drop: Drag and drop photos and images from the Web Clipboard to webmail, comments, blogs, etc.
BlogEditor: Added Blogger and LiveJournal support. Also, now you can preview what your blog post will look like before pushing ‘Publish.’ Tags are now enabled and have included Technorati, Livejournal and Blogger-specific tags.
Photo Uploader: Edit options for a specific photo or the whole batch; easily set photo to commonly selected sizes
Flock has these media apps covered:
Blogging: Blogger, LiveJournal, Xanga, Wordpress.com, Typepad
Media: Flickr, Photobucket, YouTube
Bookmarks: del.icio.us, ma.gnolia
We realize you can’t have everything, but where’s Twitter? New guy on the block, Pownce? Maybe we can expect to see Flock support these additions in the 1.0 release sometime this fall.
Flock runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.
