Damn it.

My lovely "Last seen 1 year ago" just disappeared from that one site because Flock somehow got a login cookie in its import. I figured I'd clear my messages while I was logged in, but the server times out clicking anything. Same old site. There were, like, 10 people on. Are they serving it off a TI-85 or something?

The real tragedy of all this is that Flock is actually a pretty lousy thing once you used it for a couple minutes. :\

Actually, I think it's pretty damn good. What sold me was when I dragged an image into the "snippets" shelf, then from there onto an LJ post I was composing, and it just worked. Then I edited the source of the post to include float: right; border: 3px solid black on the image, flipped back over to the WYSIWYG edit pane and it kept on just working.

The RSS reader integrated into it needs some serious work, but I like its output. If it were fast at all I'd drop Vienna entirely. The integrated flickr imagestream stuff is really neat. I'm a fan.

Just wish it wasn't so darn slow on my computer.

Note: I'm actually embarrassed to admit all that. The marketing of this browser is so buzzword-compatible it makes me throw up a little.

I didn't know that cultivating a last seen "disappeared status" was the new in thing...though I'm not at all surprised.

Yeah, works for me on Mac and Linux. Though, I kept the autogen'd top 5 results from Yahoo. Pretty cool feature, that. It'd be really cool if we could have that for Google.

Sure, except for a browser which has Adblock and Greasemonkey.
