Browser for Bloggers

In the current issue of Macworld magazine, there is an article surveying the current crop (total = 10) of web browsers for the Mac. One I had never heard of but which got 4.5 out of 5.0 "mice" is called Flock. It's specialty is being a browser for social networkers (which I am not, meaning I don't do those web sites) and bloggers (which I am). It has a cool blog editor window that opens from the browser that allows you to post a blog entry to your blog on the fly. I'm composing this entry via that editor window. It allows all the same functions as composing within Blogspot does: preview, formatting, tweaking HTML, etc. Pretty cool.

Here's a screen shot of my blog appearing in Flock with the blog editor window in the foreground, where I was typing this blog entry:



P.S. I'm adding this note after uploading the post from Flock: the picture is too small and the spacing of the text above is different than what I'm used to -- but not bad for a quick post from within a web browser. Flock uploaded the image directly to Flickr (where I store my blog images) and then retrieved it from Flickr and posted it. Very smooth.

Blogged with the Flock Browser

I'm adding this enlarged version of the screen shot of the Flock browser with the blog editor window open in order to see the features more clearly:
