i may be a bird in a cage but at least it's your cage

A thing which I just came across on Slashdot: A new web browser in progress, called Flock (http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/oct2005/tc2005105_2789_tc024.htm), which apparently integrates into its interface all those wonderful things: blogging, flickr-ing, tagging, etc., etc., etc. So that, I guess, you've got the web page you're viewing, an entry box for your blog, a button to upload photos to whichever photo-sharing service you use, a button to bookmark the page to del.icio.us (it's not clear whether it maintains its own bookmarks on the local disk, but my suspicion is that it doesn't), and so forth, sharing space in your browser window. Since they're talking about making it a free download with source available, and since the extensions page on flock.com (http://www.flock.com/) lists Firefox extensions, I expect it's based on the Mozilla/Firefox core, with lots of interface work on top of that, and it'll be quite interesting to see how it turns out.
