Flock 1.0 Is Now Available For Download

Posted by Kyle Eslick on November 4th, 2007 | Category and Tags

In you Flockstars missed it, it looks like Flock 1.0 was quietly released to the public for download. It doesn’t look like you get the update through your browser, but instead you visit the site, click download and extract the file that it downloads.

Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance to play around on this new release yet. According to the release notes, it looks like included in this update are a few welcome additions for social networking users:

Flock 1.0 has added a “People” sidebar to support new service integration with Facebook and Twitter.
Flickr and Youtube have been promoted to “People” services.
Several performance and stability enhancements have been implemented and several memory leaks have been fixed.

If you’ve tried this new version out, let me know your thoughts in the comments below!

I have not tried out the side bar, but i keep thinking that a sidebar would unnecessarily crowd up the page and be all distrcting. Is it? Or is it good fun?

Sectional - The sidebar needs to be clicked to open like Firefox, so its only there if you want it to be. You can open it to access your Facebook account or whatever account and then close when you are done.

If you have a widescreen monitor, you may want to just leave it open though

I think it is time for me to give flock a try.

I agree with Madhur. I think I’m going to be giving Flock a spin. Sounds like another great browser.
