As you know from my post last week, Flock and I broke up. Read more here. Anyway, I heard version 1.0 of flock is now available, congratulations on the upgrade. I told you I had no hard feelings. On the contrary, I read a very favorable write up on Mashable.com, who in the past have not been so kind to Flock Browser.

I truly hope flock will return to it’s old glory some time in the future and if so, I would be more than happy to give it a tray.

I don’t think I will try the upgrade version. I made a successful transfer to FireFox with the Google Reader. So far I am very happy.

Flock has Changed
The Flock browser has been my default browser for a year and a half. I was using version .7, until yesterday. They (Flock) suggested an upgrade to .9, so I did. The Flock I loved was no longer the same Flock. The upgrade to .9 killed the great feed reader GUI, the very reason I switch from FireFox!

To add insult to injury, the new Flock browser froze my machine so bad I had to do a hard shut down to get back control of my computer.

The Break Up
I used the new Flock browse for two days but it just didn’t work out. It’s like breaking up with a girlfriend I really liked and I am sad. My sadness lasted about 20 minutes because I know there are other options out there. Time to play the field!

Solution
I imported my feeds into Google Reader and downloaded the latest version of FireFox and I am back to loving the internet.

Looking Back and Then Forward
Sorry Flock I really enjoyed our time together, but you changed too much and I no longer know you. No hard feelings but it’s time to part ways. You will be fine and I will be fine. It happens. I wish you the best.

Later!
