Last week I talked a bit about beta testing for Flock 0.9 and promised that it would impress those that enjoyed previous versions of Flock.

I was pleased to see today that Flock 0.9 is now available for download to everyone. This will include all of the Firefox 2.0 updates, as well as a similar yet new look and a few new features. In addition to the new browser, it looks like Flock.com has been given an incredible new design.

If you find that you use a lot of social websites or have enjoyed previous versions of Flock, I definitely recommend giving this browser a good look. So far it is getting good reviews. I also ran across a good write up by Leslie Franke that should answer a lot of your questions.

The bad news is now I have to update my Ultimate Guide to Using Flock. Hopefully I can get that done this weekend.

For those excited about Firefox 3.0 going to beta, it looks like Mozilla has delayed the browser going to beta for a few months.  We can expect an Alpha 7 and possibly even an Alpha 8 before we get to the beta phase.   If a delay gets a better working beta with a working Places feature, I’m all for the delay.   I’ll be enjoying Flock 0.9 in the meantime!
