It's got much better bookmark importing than Flock, and an integrated BitTorrent client. It's also got a neat little thumbnail preview of your open tabs, so when you hover over your tabs, a little window comes up with a picture of what's on the tab. I'll experiment with it for a few days before writing a post about it, but my prelimary feeling is pretty good. Just my luck. came out today.

Probably an over-generalization, I guess, but worthy of mention.

I don't have the time to reorganize or rebuild, just so that I can get a bit easier access to my Flickr photos. And since the integrated blogging app was no easier to get to than using the regular Wordpress bookmarklet, and added no value beyond what I already had, it didn't make sense to frustrate myself with the bookmark thing. So, in the final tally, if you don't have a lot of time invested in customizing your browser, Flock might be pretty good. But as of now, it's not good enough to be worth the effort that inevitably goes into a browser migration. In case you’re wondering, the bookmark thing was so annoying that I had to stop using Flock.
