17. Flocking Media Bar

I've been using Flock exclusively for quite some time now. I love Firefox and Flock IS Firefox, but with built-in social networking tools. I am easily distracted and I actually believe that Flock has kept me updated and updating to Facebook, Twitter and Flickr.


I will stop my Flock love-fest, and instead tell you that I found a bit of an obsession built-in to Flock. I've been addicted to opening the media bar and continually hitting the refresh button on Flickr's recent public photos. I can't stop. I don't know what it is about looking at a bunch of random people's photos, but I find I can do this longer then I care to admit.


When I ordered my first ever ISP and could surf the Internet in the comfort of my own home, my friends and I created the “dot com” game. We would throw out a word and see if www.<insert word here>.com would take us anywhere. It was a fun game way back then, but not as much fun now since pretty much ever word is being “parked” by something. The reason I bring this up is because the media bar in flock also has a “search” function for all the photo and video sites. I do enjoy typing in and random word (like Zagnut) and seeing the results.


Thanks Flock, for murdering my free time.
