Flock, a Social Browser

by Joshua Porter  |   3 Comments

An interesting piece at Wired about a new browser called Flock.

The first question will probably be, unfortunately, this: How do you monetize a browser?

Instead, let’s ask this one: What does this do that I can’t do now?

Well… For one thing we’re integrating social bookmarks, blogging, Flickr and whatnot into an integrated experience — that spans the gamut of what it means to be able to talk back to the web.

I mean, browsers haven’t changed all that much in 5 — even 10 — years. It’s time browsers caught up with what’s going on with the web today, wouldn’t you say?

ABOUT

Bokardo is the blog of Joshua Porter, a web designer/developer, researcher, and writer. I live in Newburyport, MA, USA.

WHAT IS SOCIAL DESIGN?

Social design is design that focuses on the social lives of users. It deals with the activities, behaviors, and motivations of people who work and play together through software interfaces. It is built on the observation that many of the decisions we make are greatly affected by those we surround ourselves with in our social lives: our family, friends, and colleagues. Exploring our motivations and how to design interfaces to support them is what the Bokardo blog is all about.
