My next Flock post will be on the bookmark integration, so I look forward to hearing your opinions on it.

I've been using flock since it first was released and have grown into using its other features such as its newsreader, flickr adapter, and other features. I would have to say that the best feature is its newsreader. The biggest problem with flock is its bookmark engine. It's almost too web 2.0. I have a huge list of bookmarks (maybe 200 links) and the bookmark system really fails. I'm writing this comment from the beta version of firefox right now and would have to say it's great. If only it had the newsreader from flock. I’m torn between using flock and firefox.

Even in beta. I can't imagine not being able to fire it up in the middle of the day, and not see what's going on around the web. Matter of fact, I've got it open right now.

Frankly, I never use any of the other social stuff... but the newsreader. I love how it helpfully changes color when you have new stuff to read, so that when you're busy doing something useful you can instantly turn it around into futility! I had found a number of bugs, freezes and general slowness to abound in the version I was using a few months ago - so I gave up and went back to my trusty Firefox. I will have to give the latest beta a try. Aaaah, Flock. I fully agree with you that the newsreader portion is the most attractive.
