It has been about 3 weeks since the first Beta version of the Firefox-based Flock was released. For those people just hearing about it you will find many additional features that it has over Firefox and one of the nicest features is the built-in image uploading tools to Photobucket and Flickr.
So Flock already had Photobucket integrated into it, so why do they need to come out with their own version? Simple, they wanted to remove the Flickr access so that people only have one option for photo uploading. TechCrunch is guessing that Flock is giving Photobucket a share of the revenue from the integrated search box. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Flickr did something similar, except maybe they would team up with Flock to offer Flock with Flickr integrated into it.

Could you make a portable version of either the original Flock browser or the Photobucket Flock browser please?
I haven’t thought about doing that before, I think I will look into it. Thanks for the idea.

Hey Ryan,
Flock already supports Flickr just like we support Photobucket. I don’t know if there are any plans for a Flickr edition of Flock, but the only difference in the Photobucket edition is that Flickr isn’t turned on a supported service by default.

Will,
Thanks for your response. I know that Flock already has Flickr integrated into it but I was just wondering if there will end up being the Flickr edition. I think that it is a very smart move to team up with some of these companies because it will help get the word out about Flock.
I am currently using Flock everyday as my primary browser and love it. I heard that Flock Beta 2 will be based off of Firefox 2 and if that is true then you guys are really onto something. Keep up the good work!

Ryan,
I’m not aware of any current plans for a Flickr Ediition of the Flock browser, although that there never may be.
Flock is not released by Photobucket. Flock is independent of Photobucket.
