Flock Is Art
I guess I never used Flock to its greatest extent. While posting about one of my BlogDay 2006 submissions this week, I found yet another article about Flock. That seems to be going around a lot, lately. A year ago, all the blog submissions about Flock were of how terrible this new, wannabe-Firefox browser was. But that was then. In the last two months there has been a flurry of activity in the Blogdom about the little browser that could … and all of it that I’ve read has been positive to the nth degree.
But not much has changed about Flock since a year ago, except for the addition of numerous extensions and added stability. Why, then, was everyone so adamantly opposed to this newcomer? Mainly, because it was different. From my personal experience, I had grown accustomed to the layout of Firefox. I knew how the browser worked, and I knew where to find changes I wanted to make. But Flock was different. Not better or worse, per se, just different. Most people don’t like change, particularly if there’s no foreseeable advantage. But that is exactly why there have been so many posts about Flock recently. People are finally starting to discover the advantages of this browser.
