I’ve just discovered Flock: A browser based on the Mozilla code base, but providing lots and lots of interesting new features.  For example, it integrates very well into your blog.  This post, for example, using the Flock browser’s BlogBar functionality.  It makes it very easy to blog about things you might find while surfing. 

Another excellent feature is the fact that Flock integrates quite well with Del.icio.us!  Your bookmarks are automatically posted to Del.icio.us, and get tagged as well.  Or browse your del.icio.us tags from within Flock.  It also integrates into Flickr, but since I don’t have a Flickr account, I’ve not played around with that. 

The search box on top is nice too.  It can be compared somewhat to what the Google Desktop Search does with your Internet history, but in this case, it’s integrated directly into the browser, and you get a dropdown suggestion box as you type, suggesting possible search results from your favourites, your history, and finally lets you do a web-search with the text. 

Whee!

It’s still very beta (or is that alpha?), but it’s very usable.
