Flock Eco-Edition – Social Web Browser Goes Green for Earth Day 2008

Lately I’ve taken to using Flock, the Social Web Browser, because it consolidates and simplifies my social web lifestyle. Today, Flock just got better.

For Earth Day 2008, Flock launched the Eco-Edition of the Flock browser that delivers the latest environmental and sustainable living content to eco-minded social media and web users. The Eco-Edition comes prepopulated with the best news, photos, videos, and feeds from leading eco-content partners on the Web,delivering fresh content from Grist, GroovyGreen, Treehugger, PlanetGreen, Sprig, Current and other top eco brands daily. Furthermore, Flock will donate 10% of the proceeds of the Eco-Edition browser at the end of 2008, and as a recognition of the power of community to create change, will allow users of the Eco-Edition to select the recipient of this donation.

The Flock Eco-Edition Browser, is available as a free software download for Mac, PC and Linux at www.flock.com/eco.

   Thanks for this post. I just read what you’ve put up here and went and downloaded the Flock Eco-Edition. It’s amazing. It’s a bit overwhelming, but once you delete back some of the content that it comes with, it’s a super interesting and useful tool. I’m hooked.

   Thanks!

   Hi Andreas and Emil,

   Yeah, Flock takes some time to learn, but once you start getting into it, then you realize how cool it is.

   Cheers,

   Lorna

   Glad to see another green marketer loving Flock. I’ve been using it for day-to-day browsing and work for the past four months. Green Flock was an interesting concept and I applaud them for taking the initiative with it. Thanks for calling attention to green opportunities in the search marketing industry.

   I saw this and thought it was pretty good. Flock right now is something to be watched but I am not sure yet if I want to switch over from Firefox. Glad to see Flock include Treehugger.com, MeanCleanTech.com, Grist, and others on its top. Clean energy and green living are going to be the future it just depends on how fast we get there.
