Blogged with Flock
Spread the Word
Flock 0.7.3 has landed. Support for Firefox extensions, and Flickr and Photobucket albums. But my favorite new feature is a totally soft opt-in “spread Flock” feature that lets users add a cool Flock signature below their photo comments. We even have a little catalog of these signatures users can choose from. Try it out, and spread the word if you like it.
Flock 0.7.3 Released
This is an incremental release that has some bug fixes; but notable new features include Photobucket sub-album and Flickr set browsing and uploading, photo comment signatures, and OPML export of news feeds. You can download it now, but we haven't turned on the auto update yet because we're probably going to release a small update to this one to fix a few bugs we found, very soon.
Update: We updated the release already to 0.7.3.1. Mike Dosik says "We fixed some bugs in the first run installation, Extensions Manager and Photobucket sub-album browsing." I say "Take that, bugs."
Flock Beta 1 Means?
Beta 1? This means that we have created a release with features that we think are of a usefulness and quality that Flock is usable on a daily basis, but we will not be surprised if it crashes or otherwise behaves poorly.
We are using the modern, web application meaning of beta, as opposed to what was previously used in client/server applications and still used within a development cycle. The other meaning of beta software is having finished the functionality and the most severe bugs, but not having the polish to be used daily.

Screencast: Flock Beta 1 on The uber geeks
Flock's Top 5 Results from Yahoo! in the search box sometimes results in an alert dialog
It seems that Yahoo! made a change to their web search service today that breaks Flock's Top 5 Results from Yahoo! in the search box depending on what the search results are. This is causing Flock to show an alert dialog.
We are working with Yahoo! on resolving this issue. The status of the issue can be tracked in bug 4715.
Update: 18:00 PST, Yahoo! has resolved the issue.
Thorough Flock Screencast
Don McAllister of ScreenCastsOnline has done an excellent, thorough screencast of Flock Beta 1. If someone asks you "How does all the stuff in Flock work?" you should point them to this.
This weeks ScreenCastsOnline episode has been published and is all about the latest Beta release of Flock - the cross platform Web 2.0 browser.
