Flickr is putting more and more restrictions on the free accounts (number of albums, number of photos…) so for my personal usage I’ve been looking around, and in particular played with Picasa web albums. The problem is that I’ve became very dependent of Flock’s mediabar to insert images, as well as our photo uploader (that, …
Something we may want to do someday in Flock, if we want to use the right tokenizer to index history… How to detect which language a text is written in? Or when science meets human! Blogged with Flock
I was at the Mozilla Developer Day last Sunday, from the morning coffee to the dinner burrito. That was great, I met a lot of people from Mozilla and from outside. Mark Finkle, in charge of the developer community Dan (Thunder) and Seth, who not only share my interest for the Japanese language but also …
Fellow readers of the Flock blog, I am glad to announce that the developers hacking on Flock have put together a blog aggregation: http://www.planetflock.org. You will find posts from personal blogs of the people behind Flock, as well as people contributing to the Flock project. The Flock blog will still be the official voice of …
I’ve just created a Flock/Firefox extension for the Japanese SNS Mixi. Early beta, with only basic features but you can have a look if you’re a Mixi user. http://loisant.org/flock/mixbar/ (it’s all in Japanese, but Mixi is also pure Japanese… So unless you can read it that won’t be useful to you.)

(This extension is for Flock Cormorant only – the unstable version of Flock) Just after Christmas, I started this extension as an experiment to see how hard it would be to put Flock’s blog editor in the bottom. It turned up to be pretty easy and require very few lines of code: the back-end is …
In your comments to Will’s recent post about your Top 10 Issues/Concerns, many of you have expressed remarks or expectations about the blog module. I would like to reassure our early users: while today’s Flock is not specifically “the web browser for bloggers”, the blog editor is still a core feature, under active development. I …
Flock users following this blog probably already know about the mapper extension: that little topbar that Jesse and me hacked over a week-end to accumulate addresses using Yahoo! maps. Many users were happy with it, but that was not enough for the Flock user and developer Tony Farndon. He prefers Google Maps over Yahoo! Maps; …
Dear Flock users blogging on blogger.com, As you maybe know, Google just released a beta of their blogging service Blogger. It offers a few new features, and still have some bugs; but more important as many of you noticed it is not supported by Flock’s current release. Indeed, Flock uses the Atom API to publish …
