Flock at Work!

Finally able to download Flock. Looks great.

Yay!:

  • Built in Blog Editor. Works with most platforms, and allows relatively easy cross-posting.
  • Built in checker of email and social networking sites.
  • Integrates del.icio.us links into the browser.
  • Seems pretty light-weight.
  • Many Firefox add-ons just work.

Boo!:

  • Can’t change the URLs used by the “Account” shortcuts, or any of the shortcuts. They all point to redir.flock.com using http:// which my employer blocks. https:// works fine most of the time though, so I would love to point to that instead, but it doesn’t seem to be possible to change it.
  • Feed reader rather sucks compared to Google Reader.
  • Flashblock add-on does NOT work.

Otherwise:

  • Someone found my wallet! They found me on Facebook, which I never update, but which my employer does not happen to block (they block MySpace, but I wouldn’t be caught dead in there anyway).
  • I set up a Twitter feed. Even though I can’t update it directly (blocked), there is a GChat bridge that I can send IM to.
