I just had a (really) quick play with the Flock developer preview - it looks promising. It extends the browser to handle some of the more recent web technologies / phenomenon - feeds, social bookmarks, blogs, etc.

One really neato feature is the blog editor - you can drag pictures from your Flickr "TopBar" into the blog editor, it's fully WYSIWYG, you can launch the blog editor by right licking on any page or link and selecting "Blog This" - very neat. Unfortunately it doesn't (yet) support Roller so I couldn't get to have a decent play - if anyone else has managed to make it work with Roller - please let me know.

More when I get time to play - this could be interesting - though I actually think this is just some feature on top of Firefox - I don't think it is a new browser; and I think I actually would've preferred some Firefox plugins instead. That said - this is still an early preview - I guess it would be wise to reserve judgement.
