Images: Surfers flock to new browser

The preview version of the Flock browser was launched Oct. 21, 2005, by a team of developers in California. It integrates next-generation Web technologies such as RSS feeds, blogs, and photo sharing.

In a blog shortly before the browser's release, Flock co-founder Geoffrey Arone wrote: "We are gearing up to allow public, unrestricted downloads of the Flock browser within the next couple of hours. Please note that this is a developer preview and that there are still plenty of bugs, many of which we are aware of."
