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.
