[...] 10 十月 2005 WEB2.0的浏览器????Flock Posted by digitalghost under 技术评论今天看到一个新东西Flock,说是一个web2.0的浏览器….. 最近好像web2.0抄的特别火,也不知道为什么一个并非新技术的概念能让大家那么兴奋….. 个人感觉在东方人的眼里,web2.0更偏向于对这个概念本身的研究,也就是说是对一种新概念,如用户心里,用户习惯,web的发展史的研究… 但是在西方人的眼里,好像web2.0就更多变成了对技术的创新,div+css,ajax,sns,等等的…. 所以才有了Flock这样的东西….这个本身基于mozilla的浏览器从截图和介绍上,我可以窥见一斑! 好像是基于Tag的收藏方式和网站浏览方式,现在我们不用浏览器的书签,用deli.cio.us,在这之前我们用google,在Flock里面我们用Tag,好像还真有点web2.0哦,呵呵! 一个Blog Top Bar帮助我们发布自己的Blog,呵呵,很潮流啊,但是担心在实用性上有问题,毕竟好像很多blog都没有很统一的API,所以…… 看过以后就有点不明白了,似乎现在都在提个人信息门户这个概念,但是我们究竟是把信息门户做成浏览器绑定的功能呢?还是将这个门户做到站点的服务里面….Flock似乎走的是前者的路线,但是这样的路线个人认为并不可取…大势所趋,尽管MS不愿意,但是用户们所需要的服务与操作系统的无关化已经越来越明显了,我们不能期望个人的信息门户必须要装一个浏览器才能使用..如果MS愿意的化,IE7完全可以完成这样的功能,基于WPF可以做的很漂亮很专业,所以Flock似乎不会有什么市场的…. 不过也很难说,个人任务Flock如果想在Web2.0的浏览器这个字眼上下功夫的话,就应该研究一下基于ajax的程序,让浏览器对ajax的程序有很好的支持,其实,现在的浏览器并不适用与浏览ajax的服务,原因是他们本身就是为了PostBack而设计的,如果,Flock能在改善ajax服务的方面下功夫的话,可能会有很大成功!

Oops, I think we got some wires crossed during your visit — there is so much going on @ Flock World HQ. The beta will not be expanding today. We demo’d it at the Web 2.0 conference.

There is a number of steps that we need to do before we expand the beta:
1. Clean up a few issues over the next few days.
2. Get the current version to our core user experience experts and domain experts (such as yourselves).
3. Go live with our community infrastructure
4. Get the most recent version of the Flock browser to our existing beta users — which have already provided so much valuable feedback!

Then, as rapidly as humanly possible, expand the beta until the browser is publicly available and the source code is available to everyone.

It was fantastic to met you!
