Good day. I am currently attending to my homework at the moment, but wanted to give you a bit of an update on my use of software reviews and such. Since downloading the web browser Flock, I have enjoyed it quite well. Mainly due to the fact that it is Firefox with some add-ins and a facelift. The only gripe I have is that it doesn't view RSS or XML correctly all the time. So in the course of testing Flock, I decided to download and use Mozilla Thunderbird (a great app) as my RSS reader. I got tired of opening so many apps just to browse the web, blog, check my email, and get my news. I have now decided to only use Flock for interfacing with planzo.com and for blogging because it integrates so well with Blogger and Flickr. My primary browser is Safari where not only can I surf the web with ease, but subscribing to RSS feeds couldn't be easier. Plus, it always displays the RSS, XML, ATOM, or what have you correctly every time. That is an important feature. The only complaint I have against Safari is lack of extensibility, and the poor interfacing with planzo.com. I would love it, if I could interface with Blogger and Flickr in Safari the way I do in Flock. Oh well, that's life.
