Beta, that is.

After almost a year of developer releases, the folks at Flock have finally released a public beta of their browser, which builds social networking features on top of a Firefox codebase.

For this release, and for at least the next year or so, we are primarily focused on supporting the social dimension of the web, and on bringing information closer to the user. Right now this includes a heavy emphasis on the photo experience (from upload through discovery to notification), RSS support, dramatic improvements to the search box (including a new take on favorites), and blogging.
