A few weeks ago I techNOcool: posted about the latest release of Flock the Social Web Browser.
On Friday one of the co authors of this blog harassed me about the new fangled browser I was using. I tried to explain one would want yet another browser option but as he is not a social software kind of a guy my arguments fell flat. Today, I emailed my original post hoping to pick a discussion online for you the reading audience (ha, ha) so I used the Flock feature "share this link via email"
While I freely admit I am not a disciple as of yet, I do like many of the little things like the 'share this link via email" feature. That being said how will browsers change over the next few years as social networking becomes ingrained in our online lives as this NPR segment suggests.

Ok, I'll bite. James was really excited about his new whiz-bang browser so I decided to humor him and ask about it. I think it boils down to this: It saves your facebook, youtube, and other sites as favorites that you view in a sidebar without having to actually go to the site. However, IE and Netscape get the credit for inventing emailing links to people. They've had the ability since the beginning. Called "Send Link by E-mail".

IE and Netscape do have that email link to people but it is not as prominently positioned as in Flock. It is the small things that keep me intrigued with Flock.
