[Update: Check out this thorough review on PaulStamatiou.com for in-depth feature review.]
They’ve really come a long way, and I wrote about them various times. Now this week they finally announced their first beta version that does not carry a huge disclaimer pointing towards the uncompleteness and buginess of the browser: 0.7 is released!
You should absolutely give it a try now, even if you were too chicken to try it earlier. The integrated newsreader is great, it is the first browser working directly wit del.icio.us bookmarks (so no more double trouble or bookmarklet-jumping for me), it has a blogging engine and integrates Flickr/photobucket - and it looks good, too! The speed has become really good over time, too, and I have not had Flock crash on me even with the hourly Tinderbox-builds for two months now. I think it’s fair to say that Flock now really gets ready to kick some browser ass out there.
(Don’t worry about the “Windows” in the picture. Of course it’s available for Mac and Linux as well.)
By the way, this guy links to me talking about the hype, shiny web2.0 - I am wiggling my toes in joy! (Links in German)

I tried it out for a bit today - I think it has the makings of a firefox-beater. At the moment it an excellent blogging tool, but not much else (in my opinion). With some time, I think I’ll probably switch (when all my extensions are available!!)
