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.

Now I remember I wrote a post a while back about there being too many social sites and too many tools. You can find that article here.� However, I came across a great browser called flock that incorporates all of the social media and makes interacting with it all amazingly easy. It allows you to access all of your sites from it such as facebook, digg, twitter, youtube, blogging, and much more. You have a people bar that allows you to see all of your contact and sending them websites is as easy as dragging the tab to their picture. When watching videos it gives you options to e-mail or blog about them. Your mail accounts can be easily setup and accessed with one touch.
The best part, is when you access an account, it automatically adds asks you if you want to add it to flock. The browser is currently based on firefox 2 and the beta is based on firefox 3. Try it out and give it a try. FLOCK
