Is Flock worthwhile?
I just download Flock. It looks pretty and is easy to update del.icio.us and my blog.

Why Firefox?
A friend asked me why don't I use Safari, isn't good enough for browsing. Well Firefox is a reincarnation of Netscape which takes us to the age of Aquarius. The thing is Firefox is more than a browser, with use of extensions it can become a powerful tool for all your web surfing needs.
- RSS feed - Safari has just introduced the feature with Tiger. Even though Spotlight is good enough reason to buy Tiger, I really don't want to wait too long for these kind of features. Check out my screencast
- Cross platform - Need I say more.
- Extensions - There a more than 150 extensions available for download. I have installed the following on my system.
- Password Composer - A bookmarklet generates an unique password per site. You just have to remember one master password, and the bookmarklet will generate a unique password which you don't have to remember. It requires Greasemonkey (see below)
- Google Bar lite - Same as the one for IE. With one major added benefit, all your search result will open up in a separate tab
- Better search - It gives "Site Info", "Wayback Machine" links and a Quick Preview feature to the search results.
- View formatted source - Displays formatted and color-coded HTML source. You can fold/unfold/hilite block elements (table, tr, td, div, span,...)
- Greasemonkey - Customize the sites you visit. Using the extension, one could, for example, jump directly to "printer-friendly," and ad-free, stories on news sites. See full listing

Showing tags
Showing the number of occurrences of a tag by changing its size is definitely cool. Check out Flicker and O'Reilly
