I seriously couldn't tell you, but I will say this: I'm intrigued and excited to see if this new browser will change how I interact with the web. I couldn't care less about the rest of you. Okay, that's not true - if I start loving this thing I'll be pounding down your doors until you give it a try too.

You're doubtless asking by now, What the heck is Flock? Sounds... messy. Okay, ready for this? It's a new browser. And from my first ten minutes playing with it... well I'll put it this way: if it were a lumberjack with anger management problems, it would kick some serious ash.

I won't go into much detail now - it's in developer preview and I haven't had the chance to really open the throttle and see how it runs, but here are a few awesome features: integration of your del.icio.us bookmarks (both ways, easy retrieval and easy adding), your flickr photos, and your blog. Don't have any of those? This browser probably won't wow you, unless you're open to exploring new ways of using the web.

For the developers out there, this thing has a sweet DOM inspector. So very very sweet.

Enough said for now, I'm anxious to continue playing with it.
