Flock does not work with Drupal (or it's so buggy that it depends on what's your password)

Saturday, November 25 2006

I'm currently uninstalling Flock, the social web browser.

The fact is that while the idea is absoultely worth a try, that is the concept of easily integrate social (read web 2.0) utilities such as Flickr, Delicious (sorry but no time to spell it the correct/dumb dotted way) and so on, possibly the most awaited feature of all (by me, at least) is the integrated blog posting interface. Well, this is simply not working. I'm using Drupal for all of my blogs/sites, this very one and Contemporary Street Art and the process to establish a connection with the API it gets stuck at the username/password window. Looks like I don't know my blog password, which obviously is not the case.

There's no answer on this topic on the Flock web site, where apart from a really minimal help page it lacks a serious support/support forum area. I've tried to look around on the web if there was any answer to this issue, but alas no way to find one. I have no clue then of of the blog posting interface is, while by the way posts on the Flock/Drupal or Flock/other blogging system all stress the fact that a fully efficient integration of the whole (such as setting categories which is the killer feature of a blloging system as Drupal) is not supported.

That's why I'm back to my old pal, Firefox. No blogging integration, unless you use a third party web based thing (so just go straight to Drupal interface, then), but all the extensions you wish of.
