I think the balanced reviews and reader polls may provide a nice complement to the snarkiness of Dead 2.0 and Valleywag in the cause of relieving bubble pressure. [...]

I also liked the tight integration with del.icio.us, with the exception of the lack of division of public and private bookmarks.

I keep coming back to give it a shot, then eventually giving up on it because as much as I like what it does, I simply must have what it does not do. The biggest problem for me, as of the last time I tried it out, is the fact that one must either choose to share bookmarks or keep them private. There's no middle ground. I really want the public bookmarking capability of Flock, but I don't want to give up the ability to keep private bookmarks to get it. Of course, I've gotten so used to the PageRank and AdSense plugins I use for Firefox that the lack of support for them on Flock (last I checked) is a deal-killer as well. In many ways, Flock is a better browser than Firefox. It just doesn't do some of what I need. I’ve had an on-again off-again relationship with Flock.

Except for the partial text feed. That's great that Stowe plans to stay involved in his brainchild. Good luck! Yes, I do like it, Lutz. Except for the partial text feed.
