I’ve been using Flock now for almost two months I’m a total “Flockstar!” I really enjoy its smooth interface, compatibility with Firefox extensions and integrated social browsing options. It has simple browser-blogging, double-click URL bookmarking to del.icio.us or Shadow. Also integrated Flickr & PhotoBucket accounts. Try it out. Join the Flock!
For those of use using Ubuntu, prior to a .deb package being made for Flock, I’ve put together a simple 5 step installation tutorial. This will install a menu listing and make Flock available for all users on the machine.
1. Download Flock (Save As…)
2. Save the archive (should be on Desktop): sudo tar -C /opt -xzvf flock-*.linux-i686.tar.gz
3. Create a link: sudo ln -s /opt/flock/flock /usr/bin/flock
4. Create menu item: sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/flock.desktop
