While I was searching for a desktop client for my WordPress blog I came across some good reviews of the “Social Media” browser, Flock and while I was skeptical at first that this was just a skinned version of Firefox with some weighty add-ons I figured I give it a try.  I had actually abandoned Firefox a few months ago in favor of Safari (Mac) as Safari seemed much faster in all respects and the recent Safari 4 upgrade was impressive in my opinion.  Nonetheless I installed Flock and much to my amazement the damn thing is just as fast as Safari (in my limited experience) and I found the ability to add all of the “social” networking profiles to be both easy and useful – a rare combination.  From Facebook to Flickr, Twitter to WordPress Flock is now the one-stop shop for all interactions.  This is extremely useful. In fact I’m writing this post on the Flock-supplied desktop WordPress plugin!  Maybe this will be the ticket to get me to update my blog more frequently than every 4 months.  Now my only problem is dealing the massive amount of social data being thrown at me everytime I open my browser.
