Since Beta 1 launched we've been making the rounds on a few podcasts. Here are four of them to pop into your iPod and listen to Flockers talk about Flock the browser, Flock the company and Flock the future.
And yes, we're hoping to start our own podcast in the near future. Stay tuned!

Blogged with Flock
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.
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."
Upgraded delimages to avoid hitting del.icio.us as they banned my IP :(
This was because RSS feeds were hotlinked to pages, so that when you loaded a page, it would attempt to refresh a cache of an RSS feed if the page hadn’t been hit within 30 minutes.
Although this sounds fairly reasonable, it doesn’t work for the folks over at del.icio.us – so now images are only downloaded from the two main del.icio.us image feeds, and cached. Requests for tagged images or user’s images are just filtered from the main cache.
This also means that pages load faster, yay.
However not as many images may be presented, boo :(
But before I had to shut them off completely, and now they are up again, yay!
I’m lazy so I decided to just rewrite the whole script, here is the new source.
