Comments on: Flock draws $15 million for social browsing

The deal shows continued faith in the alternative market for Web browsers, beyond the dominant Internet Explorer.

What I couldn't do with 15 mil.

Flock is a great for both ecommerce and the proofing of pages and sites outside of Firefox. It has the same insides as Firefox and same access to skins and extensions.

I use both, side by side, with Flock set up to allow cookie acceptance and end-of-session cookie dumps, while keeping Firefox locked down.

The social phenomenon which is Flock continues to grow and mature. Its "baked-in" features make social connections a breeze and its community support structure is a two-way street. Easily just as secure as Firefox but, more sociable. FF3 has been released and is being incorporated into Flock 2 as I write. It is purported to be faster and even more sociable than before. The Flock team deserves the influx of cash and can be assured of continued support from the community. Flock has become my primary browser for nearly everything I do on the web. The next release might well free up desktop real estate as the other browsers in my "purpose defined" collection of icons are relegated to the start menu.

This is going to be big.

What's the value prop? What do these angels expect for their $30mil?
