A group of Palo Alto based programmers, many of whom have been associated with the development of Mozilla, are planning to launch a beta version of a new type of what they call a “social web browser”. According to them that the web should be a two-way experience keeping in line with the vision of web founder Tim Berners Lee.

Tech Crunch Michael Arrington thinks the screen shots are good and he says, “Flock is a new browser, built on top of firefox. It is a functional browser with excellent features (including firefox features like tabbed browsing, etc.). What really makes is stand out are two additional features they’ve added to build social networking directly into the browsing experience: social bookmarking and a wysiwyg blog writing tool”.
