Heartily agree. Tried flock, but since its value above standard Firefox depends on usage of two specific sites (one I do, one I dabble) I don't think there's a great (in the context of 100M Firefox downloads) future for flock. Until there are ways of integrating the client's choice of "tag-site" the way one can select search engines in Firefox, I think its an interesting experiment only. Problem for flock is, once that schema/protocol is established, it will be implemented in base Firefox, and their unique proposition will be diluted. Well, that's happened before, but the rate of standardisation and concomitant commoditisation is accelerating. Differentiation will remain in the ease with which the client manages those tag-site relationships. > c Hamish. -- http://del.icio.us/Hamish.MacEwan _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
