I was just looking for some aggregator plugin for Firefox when this struck my eyes — A complete “social browser”. Flock looks too good and has some beautiful features. Best of all, the browser is built on Firefox.

Linux and Mac? Yes, of course. Beta still.

I took the liberty to steal the feature list from Wikipedia.

  • Flock’s custom homepage, “My World”, tells you when your friends have new photos and videos and when you have new feeds. My World gives quick access to your recently visited favorite sites as well.
  • Bookmarks, in addition to being saved offline, can be replaced with del.icio.us. When a bookmark (known as a favorite) is added, it is added to the user’s del.icio.us account.
  • Favorites can be tagged
  • A favorites and history section are integrated into the favorites manager
  • Built-in full-text search using Clucene (C++ implementation of Lucene). Search as you type for pages in the cache
  • Flickr and Photobucket integration
  • Technorati tagging
  • Blogging tools
  • News aggregator
  • Drag-and-drop” capability and a clipboard like feature known as “The Shelf.”
  • Media Mini Bar, allows you to search, stream, and view content off of sites like YouTube and Truveo.
  • Built in uploader, to submit content to flickr and photobucket

Here is your screenshot
