Hi everyone. Its been a long time since I updated this blog with soem meaningful news. Sorry for that.
First of all, I am wishing Flock QA engineer Lloyd luck in all his future endeavours. Unfortunatley for the flock team, Lloyd is moving back to Canada with his bride. I wish him luck in all his future endeavours. I am sure almost every flockstar will be very sad to see him go considering how helpful and considerate he is. We will all miss him. Good luck Lloyd and have fun in Canada.
Secondly, I would have thought most flock users will have heard of it but apprently not. Mr. McTones (thats the only part of his name I know) has released his MiniMapper flock extension. This extension adds support for google maps in the maps topbar. So for all of you who have been complaining about how “sucky” Yahoo maps is(or you just dont like Yahoo Maps), please go download this extension. The extension also gives you a choice in choosing which map service you will like to use(google or yahoo) and also view places nearby in platial.com McTones has written a whole changelog here so go see it for any additional features.
Also, finally, Flock is getting youtube support. Right now, its really crude but its a step in the right direction. For now in the hourly builds, you can browse youtube videos through the photo topbar. Just go to “All public photos on” and choose youtube. *PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE HOURLY BUILDS ARE NOT STABLE AND YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR COMPUTER SUDDENLY DECIDES TO GOBBLE UP YOUR DINNER* .
Ok, so its goodbye for now. More flock news and other news coming later on. Oh and if do have some spare ALLPEERS beta invites. Send me a note thorugh the contact page and i will shoot you one.
