I’ve just read on Techcrunch that Flock was going to switch from Firefox to Chrome. This is not completely news to me because at the time I was still at Flock, one colleague (Chris Campbell) was doing experiments with Chrome to see the feasibility of the switch. I don’t know what’s going on inside Flock …
Update: since since entry is fairly well ranked on search engines, I thought I should link to this page explaining how to become an AMO editor (and what does an editor do). My application as a AMO editor has just been accepted! I will now be reviewing Firefox extensions and themes, for the benefit of …
Flock 2.0 is on its way to the final release, and many of you have noticed that besides all the Firefox 3 goodness, the experience is pretty much the same as in Flock 1.2. Well, it’s pretty much the same, not exactly the same. One discreet feature is the recognition of Media RSS feeds for …

Lloyd, your recent post about knowledge disappearing and Flock “destroying” documents was a bit harsh. Did you send an email to any of your ex-coworker to ask where all these articles went? There was a lot of useful information on wiki.flock.com, but honestly it was a messing. People have been dumping articles in it since …
Something people often ask is support for more services. And that’s what we do: in 1.1 we will be adding support for Picasa, currently the service most people are asking for. But we can not implement support for every single service in the world! We have to focus on the core of the browser, horizontal …
Still working on the Photo API, I created an XPCOM module to use Dailymotion (a video sharing website pretty popular in France) in Flock. It’s in trunk only, and disabled by default. If you have a Flock tree, you can enable by de-commenting the line regarding Dailymotion in $c/services/Makefile.in. So far it just support the …
