flock does not rock

not for me at least.

in case you haven't heard of it, flock is the award-winning social web browser which has gained popularity over these past two years. i downloaded it sometime back, but was reluctant to try it out. well, like most people, i am quite resistant to change too. especially when it comes to information technology.

while flock is possibly "the best thing that happened to web-browsing" (as its proponents have hailed it) i regret to say that it does not sit well with me. while the little icons at the top left hand corner are cute and convenient, they open up to small sidebars that reduces the size of my main frame to a puny little square. this renders my browsing experience rather unpleasant, and especially so when i'm having my daily laughs at the wondergirls on youtube and suddenly the lower half of their torsos disappear. in addition, although flock has the ability to deliver all the latest facebook updates and emails right to the doorstep through their amazing feeds feature, i still prefer the good old push technology - i type, i click and i retrieve.

nonetheless, i still favor it to internet explorer, simply because it is based on the mozilla platform (correct me if i am wrong), which i deem as superior to the commercialised IE.

so if you are bored of the mundane looks of IE, or if you would like a more exciting browsing experience, you can flock to check it out. otherwise, i think firefox works fine for you and me.
