new browser

Flock aims to be the "social web browser" - integrating all that f'book, flickr, twitter activity into one handy (hyperactive?) web experience. The rhetoric is hard to follow though - I'll aim to test this later and report back.

yes - I looked at Flock for my DRHA paper which was arguing for encouraging the use of a personal portal for campus based students to gather together their resources and other stuff all in one place. Ideas that I *borrow* from e-learning research.

Flock was one that I touched on but I had found it all a bit confusing. iGoogle is great and the one I was advocating as a *PLE* ie a DIY (and free) personal portal.

Let me know how you get on with flock.

I've been suggesting iGoogle to the students and many are using it.
