You can also easily update your twitter by simply changing the tag line. I highly recommend it.

I think Flock will make a lot of people happy! Though Firefox will for now continue to be the best browser for most people. Duncan, it's likely your luck. I haven't heard of any engine "tweaks" that would account for a more stable environment. Safari Beta on Windows? I love the font rendering, but it almost crashes as much as IE7, has problems displaying some HTML tables, and has sent a few truncated emails using gmail.

So far, so good with Flock, I've had a ton of tabs open and it hasn't crashed once: it might be luck or it might be that they've tweaked the underlying Firefox engine, not sure.

Flock seems to have struck a chord and my take on why it will become popular People seem to be going to the best of breed apps and these happen to come from different vendors (youtube for video, flickr for photos, twitter for well twittering, facebook for throwing pies :), etc). So to integrate these into a common framework almost seems like something that would become an absolute necessity. Like you observed it longer seems like a glorified set of firefox plugins.
