Testing flock

There is a browser out there named flock, it has very interesting features, including social tools, blogging tools, social bookmarks tools and over fun feel.
The most interesting thing about it is the overwhelming amount of data on each page and how my eyes got used to it so quick.
You would think this is a very crowded view, but once you make good of some tools on the left and figure out those are just tools (like the blog editor I am using right now) you focus all your attention on the main part of it, and just have a very quick access to what ever you need.

I have been playing with it for several hours now, after I got a recommendation from a friend and I pass on this recommendation - Flock, give it a try http://www.flock.com/RC3/

But are we blind to tools? once we learn tools, we place them, one of the first things users do (according to eye tracking systems) is map all the action Items in a page.
We look for those action buttons again only if we need them and then we look in the places we mapped them before.

Flock sure makes a good use of this trait.
