I wrote about Flock when I first discovered it a few months ago and wrote it was quite worth while. Flock is an Internet Browser based on the popular Firefox browser by Mozilla that also integrates your e-mail, social media, photos and media, and news feeds all into one place. I was really impressed with how easy browsing had become. The one disadvantage was that Flock was based on Firefox 2.0 and 3.0 had just been released.
After three weeks without internet, I found out yesterday that Flock 2.0 was released. It comes with all the features of Firefox 3, a new cleaner theme, and better performance. Upon startup, they also provide you with a simple video showing you how to use the different features.
Each time you log into an account, Flock will ask you if you want to save the account. Once you have saved it everything becomes one click. One click to see all of your friends in all the different social media, one click to see all your different accounts, to check e-mail, post to your blog, see your favorites, or read your news.
If you do any of these things, then I recommend you give Flock a try. It is will well worth your time. If you already use it, or give it a try, let me know what you think.
If you are using another browser (especially internet explorer) then here are some additional articles to read.

Hey Nick I just found your blog, It looks very interesting as I live in Japan as well. I live in Nagano prefecture right now but have always loved warmer regions. How is it over there?
Hi Carlos,
Thanks for reading. Miyakojima is great. I am not a big fan of the cold weather, so I much prefer here to Tokyo. It has been in th elow 20s for the last couple of days, but before that I was swimming everyday. How long have you been in Japan?
For a little over a year. I too dislike the cold as I said in the previous post but find it quite ironic since Nagano is famous for its winter getaways. I love to live in perpetual sunshine. Winter is just too depressing for me.
Carlos,
I have been in Nagano 2 during the winter and it is too cold for me. The good side is that they have great fruit and vegetables during spring and summer and nice slopes in the winter. I definitely hear you about the sun. I am from California and am loving the sun here. However, I would have to say that Nagano gets better sunshine than most of Tokyo. To many buildings, clouds, and smog.
That is true. Nagano is rural and has a very relaxed lifestyle, quite the opposite to Tokyo. Sometimes it is too relaxed for me.
