Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery….

I’ve been using Flock for a few days now to post to ‘menori’ and finding it to be incredibly useful. To not have to have a separate application just to do a simple posting is great. Yes, blogger offers the ‘blogthis’ javascript link option, but I’m a bit traditionalist and do prefer proper clients over doing everything via the browser.

Interestingly Flock now have a complete parody of the in the form of Flocq whereby some chap has built an entire website and application around the lithe original. Flocq is a fraction of the size of Flock (and a fraction of the functionality and GUI) and has an intriguing ‘Don’t click me’ link in it’s browser favourites. Of course I clicked it and a huge pop-up window opened (even spilling over the edges of my screen which is pretty high-res) and the whole thing kinda locked up. Needless to say I’ll be sticking to the original for now.

Reminds me of the time I saw ‘the Bootleg Beatles’.
