i used Flock for quite awhile, but this last upgrade version quite sucks. it's very bogged down trying to be everything that anyone could ever want to use a browser for, all as the same time. now that i have the hosted WP blog, with it's built-in editor and a plug in that allows me to correctly insert photos from flickr into posts, i've gone back to the must leaner and faster Firefox. Blogged with Flock no more!
It's fun to have as an alternative. I haven't really played around much with it yet but I definitely won't be abandoning Firefox which I have set up just so, with all its nifty add-ons. Perhaps we'll see some Firefox add-ons which replicate some of the features of Flock in the future.

Me too. The only person I can imagine playing this is a teenage boy doing it to impress his mates or his girlfriend, but even that's a stretch!
