New Browser and Cool Site
I have been focusing on work a little more lately, however I did come across a new site and a new browser that I think you should check out. I heard about the browser and the site from the guys at the The Best Damn Tech Show .
The browser is called Flock and it is more of a social browser than Internet Explorer 7 or Firefox. It really intergrates news, rss, and photos and browsing into a community like experience. What I really like about it is the RSS reader that is built into the Browser. It allows you to preview multiple posts, from different feeds, within the same window, enabling you to look at the most recent posts and select that posts that are of interest. Drew Olanoff interviewed Geoffrey Arone, one of the founders of Flock and after listening, I was intrigued enough to go to Flock and download the browser. Although Flock has many capabilities that I did not mention, it is a great little browser and has become my default RSS feed browser.
The second site that I would like to share with you is www.goowy.com. Goowy is a site that allows you to look at Blogs, RSS Feeds, photos, music email and IM. It's a Web 2.0 "Yahoo" like portal that allows file sharing, mail and IM integration. It's a nice little environment for folks who use a lot of email and IM. Although I did not test this, my guess is that this site would be great for those that need IM behind a corporate firewall. Both Adam Plante and Drew Olanoff interviewed Goowy CEO Alex Bard and after listening to the interview, I visited that site and subscribed.
