  2. birds of a feather flock together….that was bad

    so far, it looks good for a 1.0 beta preview (i.e. a real beta)

  3. Ah yes, and it appears that Flockers get invited to WordPress.com by nature. Quite brilliant! Very “iydkydg” if you ask me.

  7. 酷——Flock

    Flock是一个很酷的?览器,基于Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051005
    Firefox/1.4.1内核,所以firefox有的功能它是一个都没少。
    的确firefox是很酷的,如果Flock仅仅拥有firefox所有…

  8. Hey Matt, I got a WP.com invite literally minutes before I downloaded Flock and found another one! It’s funny how you wait for something for ages and then when you get it, 2 come along… Kinda like buses I guess!

  9. Matt, if you don’t know, you don’t go. And that’s all I have to say about that.

  11. I curious to try Flock, especially because Firefox is prohibited on my workplace. I can use only IE and Opera.

  12. Eh, found the download at http://www.flock.com/developer/download/preview/, but it requires administrator to install. Not for me :-(

  13. [...] आज ही फ?लॉक – फॉयरफाक?स पर आधारित नया ब?राइज़र, के आगमन के बारे में पता चला। जो सबसे बढ़िया बात है वह है कि आप इसमें से सीधे ही अपने हिन?दी चिट?ठे पर लिख सकते हो। सबसे पहले हा? भाई पर प?रयोग किया जो कि सफल रहा। फिर ब?लॉगर पर भी प?रयोग किया। वहा? पर प?रविष?टि पह?ंच तो गई है पर लगता है प?रकाशित नही ह?ई। हो सकता है यह ब?लॉगर के साथ प?रकाशन के साथ चलती म?श?किलों के कारण हो। यदि कोई बंधू इसे आजमा? तो इसके बारे में जर?र बता?ं। क?छ भी हो बिना अपने चिट?ठे पर जा? सीधे ब?राउजर से प?रकाशन का मजा ही क?छ और है। [...]

  14. For those that don’t know, iydkydg was an ad campaign launched by Coca-cola’s “Coke Card” program in 2000; it stood for “if you don’t know you don’t go”. It probably was supposed to be “exclusive”, but probably wasn’t that popular, and was let go. Hence why there are some people that don’t know what it is.

    Jason Kottke mentioned that there was a web site back in April ‘99 http://www.kottke.org/99/04/iydkydg

    The Internet Archive didn’t manage to capture anything useful: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.iydkydg.com

  18. Err, Flocker IS Firefox – well, the engine anyway. It’s just been hacked up and had some new features added.

    The features are cool if you’re a blogger, but if you’re not, they’re nothing special. Social bookmarking? Been around for ages.

  20. Well FlockFox… misses one thing I enjoyed in firefox.
    The ability to open all bookmarks in tabs.
    Damn you cant open a new tab from a bookmark !
    What the f..lock ?
    I am using 4.9 now and still the same.
    Lets see 5.0 maybe the flicks it. :)
