Whether the next release of Flock is 0.8, 0.9, or they pass right on over to 1.0, people are anxiously waiting to get their hands on a new release. While we’re waiting for the next Milestone, a mock-up has been created of what we might be able to expect. Remember, this is a Mock-up and just that. It was probably quickly done using Photoshop, and there’s no saying that this is what the next release will really look like.
First things first, the next version will be based off of Firefox 2. This is great news for anybody using Flock or considering it, because now Flock will have all of those great things introduced with Firefox 2 like built-in spell check and session restore, just to name a few. To the left on the mock-up, you’ll notice the built-in feed reader (which the current Flock already has), and to the bottom you’ll notice all of your online images, and images from your friend’s accounts. This mock-up also includes a tabbed interface for your contacts, and note-taking in the bottom right corner. It also appears that they’ve broken away from the the norm by putting the search box below the address bar, although I’m sure that can be configured however you’d like it to be.
There ya have it, the next milestone mock-up of Flock! I remember reading that they wanted the next milestone out by the end of 2006. Unfortunately that didn’t happen, but hopefully we’ll be seeing it soon!

Looks damn good! I actually like the search bar where they have it.
Ah yes session restore would be nice, in the mean time I should see if SessionSaver will convert. I also have a version of Spellbound for Flock, but it is not inline like with Firefox 2.
Groovy, SessionSaver is aleady an already a Flock extension! But it will be nice when it is a standard feature.
SessionSaver is nice but it doensn’t quite compare in efficiency to the built-in Firefox one. I like the one in Firefox because it reloads cached versions of the pages instead of completely refreshing the page, so it will also restore form data which has been useful on more than one occasion.
Flock already comes with spellbound built in, session saver is a good addition though.
I only downloaded flock this morning, I like it, but it wont replace Firefox just yet. I’m not overly happy with the way it handles feeds or bookmarks. I really like the Flickr integration though!
Honestly, I’m not a great fan of Flock, just because its based on Firefox. They need to build something new.
or maybe port Safari to Win hahah..
I’m surprised that you don’t like how it handles feeds with the built-in feed reader. That is one of my favorite features!
I think that they were smart for building off of Firefox because then they could focus on adding more functionality and features instead of worrying about security patches and the ground-work. Why reinvent the wheel when you can work off of one of the most popular ones?
Its the slowest feedreader I have ever used! Newshutch is my feedreader of choice, because its fast. Flock cant compete!
Some people, like myself, like to be able to customize the duration of the updates though. Newshutch is really nice for being able to read news but if you need to stay on top of things you’ll need something that gets updated more than every hour.
