The guys involved on the Flock
project have released their first preview for developers by sharing
the binaries and the source code.
Flock is a project started from the guys involved on the Mozilla
project and it wants to be something like a new browser, with better RSS
support, support for services such as Flickr,
Del.icio.us, WordPress, TypePad, or Google’s Blogger etc.
My first question after seeing this is why the Mozilla Team is so forked...
we have a lot of browsers built on top of Mozilla's platform (Camino and
Netscape for example, only to mention the famous), so why starting the Flock
project? Why not working for an extension in Firefox for example?
I've see that the staff has a response
about this, but I'm not so sure that this is the right road. The browser's world
is full now and I think it's better to unify the forces for a better browser
than starting lots of different projects. However, we'll see what happens with
Flock in the future...
