Flock is full of smart folks, and it's one of my greatest pleasures to get to grab a plastic cup of wine and throw around ideas with them. I've heard great idea after great idea, but the downside to having all these smart folks is that they always find the issue in the equation that will break it. :)

Recently we've been throwing around a new idea, and we have yet to poke a hole in it, so I wanted to run it by you.

People love to share their activities online. They post a blog and then Twitter the link out. They upload photos and then blog about it. And they try to pull this all into Facebook through apps, notes, or status updates.

What if that was easier? What if, by simply installing a Facebook app and choosing your settings in Flock, you could have Flock automatically publish to Facebook when you post a blog, upload photos, add a feed, favorite a site, etc? These items would show up in a box on your profile as well as in specific items in your news feed. Never again would you have to post a note when you update your blog or upload some photos to Flickr.

This would all be customizable and could be disabled; we wouldn't want this to be creepy, just an option if you choose it.

Of course, if this was successful as a Facebook app we could branch out to OpenSocial networks, or even create an embeddable HTML widget.

Is this interesting to folks? Would you add this to your Facebook page? If you saw this on a friend's page, would you be intrigued? Would it convince you to download a browser?

Thanks in advance for your feedback...we're quite fond of this idea, but you are the ones who would be using it, so your thoughts on it are key.

Flock'n'roll,

Simply campaigning for the next big thing in flock browser. Maybe! Yes? NO? Why?

I like the idea of Flock. I've used it. It has great features. It just doesn't fit with other Mac apps. It doesn't look right. New Firefox got it right. Its uniquely Firefox but distinctly Mac, it fits with Leopard, its chrome behaves right.

If you guys work on making the individual-os distributions distinctively native looking for Flock 2, like the Firefox team did with 3, I know I'd be alot more likely to switch, along with tons of other Mac users.
