Flocking

Posted on Friday, 21st October 2005, 12:06 AM, by Chris, under Blogging, Computing, Photoblog.

I’ve just downloaded and started playing with Flock, a new browser which is integrated with various types of online services like flickr, del.icio.us and blogging tools like WordPress (I’m actually writing this through the Flock blogging tool).

I’ve only been playing with it for a short while, but my initial impressions are that it’s pretty damn sweet.

It allows you to post things straight from flickr, downloading your photo stream and showing it to you, so there’s no need to go to the flickr site and grab the photo url or the code you want to paste into your post, you simply have to drag in the photo!

Anyway, I’m impressed and you should get yourself a copy to try it out.

    The problem is that the blogging tool doesn’t support categories or keywords – so you have to go into the WP web interface to set these, at which point you might as well not bother using the Flock thing. Browser’s brilliant though!

    Yeh, but this is the very initial release, things’ll probably build up in the most used areas first, I think this will be one of the first things to be expanded upon (or at least I hope it is!).
