Flock gives you complete control of social networking and entertainment sites
Overall, Flock has a rather retro look to it and once installed, you are immediately greeted with options to log into the social networking sites, Facebook, My Space and Twitter. It also has an integrated media bar that allows users to search through Youtube, Flickr or Truveo without interfering the rest of the browser.
Other sidebars also help you sort between your feeds, social networking accounts and other services such as maintaining blogs and media sharing.
Once you are logged into a social networking site, your information is saved and any updates can be viewed on the people sidebar, even when you are actually not on that particular page or tab.
The Web Clipboard is another useful feature of Flock, which allows to highlight and drag random text to the sidebar which is then sorted for later use. Image uploading is equally easy with Flock.
Flock can be customized similarly to firefox, using extensions; you can check them out at https://extensions.flock.com/extensions/ . you can also add more toolbars for entertainment purposes. However, it does not have separate themes.
As Flock is powered by the same technology that is used by the Mozilla Firefox 3 browser, it can use most of the extensions that are available for Firefox.
