Comments on: Performancing Blog Extension for FireFox http://www.tmarkiewicz.com/performancing-blog-extension-for-firefox/ Thoughts on technology, marketing and entrepreneurship.

For those unfamiliar with Flock, the application is a new web browser to compete with the likes of Internet Explorer and FireFox. Flock is built upon the Mozilla code, the same as FireFox. Many of the same FireFox extensions can also be used with Flock. My initial critique of Flock was why didn’t the team just make a new extension or set of extensions for FireFox. Extending from that assertion, why would an end user stop using FireFox and start using Flock when many if not most of the features promoted could be accomplished by installing some extensions?

I overstated my point about the Performancing plugin by inplying that Flock was built around that single feature. I do still believe though that Flock has an uphill climb as many of the concepts emphasized by Flock are (or can be) added to Firefox. Lloyd,

Your point is well taken. I overstated my point about the Performancing plugin by inplying that Flock was built around that single feature.

I do still believe though that Flock has an uphill climb as many of the concepts emphasized by Flock are (or can be) added to Firefox.

We are at the beginning of building "a new browser" (Firefox at its core) around the concept of a consistent, complete user experience for the emerging participation Web.

It's probably one of the most useful extensions I've found yet. I initially couldn't get it working with v1.5, but now it's operating as usual. I'm still not sold on the Performancing extension yet, but with some more minor features (again I need save as draft) I can see it being a primary method of blog authoring. I currently use the native WordPress editor and with SpellBound, I have everything I need. I actually already use SpellBound in FireFox.
