Flock: a deserving Webby winner, and a ground-breaking browser

Well, if ChangeEverything.ca was going to lose in the Webby race, it couldn't have been to a more worthy contender than Flock.
If you're active in social media, you owe it to yourself to check Flock out. It's an open-source web browser (peer into its heart, and you'll find the Firefox codebase)... but calling it a browser seems completely inadequate.
Consider it your social media nerve centre:
- Flock lets you keep tabs on what your social network friends are up to - from status lines to the media they're creating.
- It makes sharing photos and videos dramatically easier, whether you're uploading files or blogging a photo from your Flickr account.
- It has a built-in feed reader, it's integrated with social bookmarking services, it has a handy blog post editor...
- ...and it knits all of this together to turn you into a Web 2.0 powerhouse.
One great little wrinkle: they've recently released a green edition, prepopulated with lots of sustainability info.
If you haven't taken Flock for a spin already - or if you tried out the early betas and gave up - go download it and try it out. It's a whole new way of using the social web.
