Flock Announces Features Scheduled For 1.1 Beta

I’m primarily a Firefox user, but I’ve made no secret that I’m a big fan of the Flock Web Browser.  I love the social aspect of the browser and would probably use it as my primary browser if I used social websites more often.

Today it looks like Flock announced 3 major new features are scheduled to be included with Flock 1.1, including one major one.   Flock 1.1 will feature integration with e-mail!   This is something that Opera has had in some form for awhile now, but up until now, other web browsers haven’t really pursued this.   You’ll be able to check your Gmail or Yahoo! Mail with the click of a button.  In addition to adding easy e-mail access, this also opens up many possibilities for sharing web pages and images with others using e-mail and your web browser.

In addition to e-mail integration, Flock will now offer Friend Activity allowing you to monitor your friends across all social networks you have accounts with.  If that isn’t enough, Flock users will also have Picasa integration, allowing you to easily interact with Picasa Web Albums.

It looks like the beta version will be available to everyone by the end of January.
