Flock - Internet Browser
Chiropractors are “flocking” to the web 2.0 social networking world as I can see from the number Chiropractors on Twitter.
[UPDATE] - Flock has shutdown and can’t be downloaded
Chiropractors are using social network sites to connect and network with patients, potential patients, fellow chiropractors and other health-care professionals. I have just installed Flock, an internet browser. Flock is just like Internet Explorer, FireFox, Google Chrome, Safari etc… I have been a big fan of FireFox for many years now, but that all changed today. I think I have become addicted to Flock and I will tell you why.
Flock Internet Browser
Any chiropractor who is thinking, which is the best internet browser out there to surf the internet and connect to your Facebook or Twitter account, I would have to recommend Flock over FireFox at this moment in time.
Again I will go on to explain why I have made such a major change in the way I surf the internet and connect to the social networking web 2.0 world today.
What is Flock
Flock as quoted from their website is:
Flock pulls all of your favorite people, places and content together in a convenient view and delivers a more personal experience of the web, where its users are more easily connected to what’s important to them.
So basically Flock is competition to Internet Explorer, FireFox, Google Chrome, Safari, Opera and all the other internet browsers out there.
The major exception for me is the smooth integration ability between surfing the internet and easily updating your blog, twitter tweets or facebook account.
So Why Use Flock
Today, within minutes, I realised why I should use Flock to connect to the internet over the other web browsers.
Using Flock made it so simple to see and update my twitter account, facebook account and other web 2.0 social networking websites in one screen. All of this while normal internet web surfing.
I have been looking to see if there was something out there nicer looking than FireFox and a bit more faster like Google Chrome. Flock ticks all the boxes so far for me.
Flock beats Google Chrome because it has the master password manager which is available currently on Google Chrome. This is important to me to have some barrier between my passwords and anyone who could use my laptop.
Flock beats FireFox for me because it is built on the Mozilla structure so it has all the features of FireFox including downloading add-ons like extensions and themes. But, Flock has more technology that integrates the most popular web 2.0 social networking websites out there. So for me Flock is like FireFox on steroids at the moment.
Flock beats Internet Explorer because it is something other than Internet Explorer.
