A Web browser being developed by Flock has features that focus on online collaboration and communication. It has a display bar that lets people see their friends’ photos hosted on photo-sharing Web sites. Version 1.0 is due this fall.
People can connect their own accounts at photo-sharing sites to their browsers to display and share images. Flock is now pre-integrated with Flickr and Photobucket; other photo-sharing services are planned.
Flock has integrated an RSS-based news blog and feeds, which the company has prepopulated.
