Terescia's thoughts and such.

I’ve found a new tool to shave a bit of time off my internet rituals. I’ve discovered Flock, a web browser based on the Mozilla Firefox browser I currently use — but am now weaning myself from. Flock has a feature that lets me set up multiple blogs and post to them easily. In fact, I love the blog editor built into Flock. I don’t have to log it to a bunch of different interfaces to post. I was using w.bloggar, and it was great, but frankly most of the time I would forget to use it. I don’t do that with Flock because the blog editor is built into the browser. Because of that, it’s just harder to forget about it.

Here’s what the Flock website says about the blog features:

Once you set up a blog in Flock, you can copy text, pictures and videos from anywhere on the web and instantly post them into Flock’s Blog Editor or directly into your own blog. You can also monitor, manage and post to different blogs.

I really like dragging and dropping the files into the blog editor window. Makes things much simpler.

Also, it makes logging in to my accounts faster (Gmail, del.icio.us, etc.). It has support for lots of other accounts built in, but I don’t use most of those, although someone else might.

Although not technically a piece of writers’ software, Flock helps me shave time off my time online, and that itself is enough to make it a recommended piece of software for writers.
