Flock (web browser)

The factual accuracy of this article is disputed.

Flock is a web browser that integrates various blog, news aggregation, and social networking sites, and is built on Mozilla’s Firefox codebase. When the user logs in to any of the 15 supported social services, the user may allow Flock to remember the user's account. Then Flock will announce when friends have uploaded photos or published other items. The browser claims to "allow easy media sharing via drag and drop, easy photo uploading, and a built-in blog editor for easy posting from anywhere on the web." Social networking sites include Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr and Blogger.

Company

Flock is the successor to Round Two who raised money from Bessemer Venture Partners, Catamount Ventures, Shasta Ventures, and other angel investors. Bart Decrem and Geoffrey Arone cofounded the company. In March 2008, Flock Version 1.1 was released. Unfortunately, Flock 1.1d (the beta for 1.1) took away the data from 1.0, but that bug was fixed in the release of 1.1.
