Screaming Penguin - Source Does Matter

Flock 1.0 is now available. I have to say, I played with it a couple times earlier and wasn't that into it. Having seen the 1.0 release, I am quite impressed. The integration with the social sites it supports is impressive, and the blog editor is one of the nicer once I have seen, tough I wish it popped under the current tab, or as a tab of its own. Flock runs most Firefox extensions, so all the stuff I liked about FF is still there. It would be nice to see even more integration: Last.fm and Meebo would both be great adds.

It is interesting now between Sonbird, Prism/WebRunner and Flock how the Mozilla world is both fragmenting and becoming better at the same time. I had a similar reaction to Songbird 0.3. It is WAY better than the last version I tried. I guess the real lesson here is that web stuff pwns all. When basically you see Browser+Social and Browser+Media and Browser-- taking off, it is obvious that the browser component is really the critical factor here.
