RockMelt was introduced in beta in November with the argument that would bring browser with social networking. However, Flock is a browser-oriented social network for years and a new version of Flock shows where you have several plus points of RockMelt. To some extent, Flock is prior to social networking. When five years ago it was first introduced, the company refers to the product of the same name as the "Web 2.0 browser."

Flock has done a good job keeping up with changes in social networking and collaboration. With the latest release, Flock 3.5, the browser displays a much broader support from social networking tools to the more recent beta RockMelt.

While for most of his life Flock is based on the Firefox browser engine, initially this year, the browser was modified to work with chrome engine that supports Google Chrome (and RockMelt also.) On a overview of usability and speed, this has been an improvement. But surely causes some problems when trying to figure out how to use Flock.

Probably the biggest problem right is that none of the guides, FAQs, or flock.com support pages have been updated with information for the new browser based on Chromium. In some cases, information on the site is wrong and no longer work. It has been months since the first version based on the chromed engine and Flock has to get this updated information.

But if you can run the browser without support, Flock offers some special features for social networking. First, Flock 3.5 has support for Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and Flickr, and does a good job of handling RSS feeds.
