This is my test blog post using the Flock “Social Browser”. Basically it’s goal is to effectively pull together all your standard social communities into a browser experience, automatically pulling in your feeds/accounts/etc. from Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, etc. The main issue I see with it so far is that there’s no MySpace add for it. That seems silly to me.
Anyway. I’m blogging this post right from within the Flock blog post client and I was able to have it detect my blog type (WordPress) by just giving it the domain, it figured it out, probably looking to see if standard Wordpress URL existed, etc.
I was also able to add my gmail and yahoo mail accounts to it and easily use them through the browser alongside my social sites.
I’m really liking this so far and will grill it a lot harder of the next few weeks.
Peace and Grease.

Hey Rich,
Thanks for using Flock! MySpace support is coming later this year, so hang in there!
