Social Networking Web Browser Flock Unveils New Version

CYBERSPACE — A web browser that offers Firefox's functionality combined with a social-networking aggregator has unveiled its second version.

The web browser is called Flock, and it launched back in October. Available for free download at Flock.com, the browser runs just like Mozilla's Firefox, but with a central core of additional bells and whistles that give users a unified place to update their blogs, upload photos and bookmark favorite sites. It's compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.

Flock's developers have been rigorously beta-tesitng their new product, with an emphasis on improving the application's performance, security and interface. Tech blogger Jimmy Rogers at GeeksareSexy.com has been participating in the beta-tesing for Flock 2.0, and he praised the new release, especially its improved tabbed browsing.

"The first thing I noticed when testing Flock 2 was the speed at which the program now operates," he said. "If you’re a normal user who only has a few tabs open at a time, you might notice a slight difference. However, if you’re like me, the number of tabs you keep open is larger than you’d like to admit. In previous versions this would slow down Flock to an almost unusable speed. Now Flock opens, closes, and loads new pages just as fast as you need it to. It also uses fewer system resources, so multitasking is possible again."

The Flock 2.0 browser also feature some of the most prominent new features added to Firefox 3.0, including the application's improved bookmarking system and browsing shortcuts.

To download Flock 2.0, visit the official website.
