Very interesting article http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,1282,68823,00.html?tw=rss.TOP. Is the smugmug team following this at all? It looks like flikr is poised to get a boost, why not smugmug???

eh???

(oh and I hope it renders css properly!!!)

    I have actually been using the Flock browser (Mac version) for a couple days now. I must say, for an early beta version its pretty good. No major problems yet. Its allot like Firefox, with extensions & such plus some added goodies like the ability to easily manage bookmarks from your del.icio.us account, an interface for blogging directly to your blog site, a built in JavaScript Console/DOM Inspector, Mac OS Mail intergration, & as Mike said Flickr intergration for sharing. It also handles CSS pretty well from what all I tested.

    The Flickr thing I couldnt test of course, but I can see where it could be a cool thing to have for other services, such as Smugmug. From the looks of it, its possible to add other photo services in the future, but as of now you cant. The add/delete boxes are grayed out. But, couldnt someone write an extension of some sort for Smugmug for Flock or Firefox?

    Here are some snapshots:

    Also. Mike (or anyone who does allot of CSS), if you are looking for a browser for fine tuning CSS/HTML, I hear great things about Xyle Scope for Mac. You can check it out here: http://www.culturedcode.com/xyle/

    Its $15, but people say its worth it for serious web-developing. Here is a mini-review: http://www.cianca.com/wp/2005/09/11/xyle-scope/
    and here is another: http://www.timflight.com/2005/05/24/review-xyle-scope-mac-browser-source-code-viewer-css-viewer-web-multi-tool/

    I heard about xyle. I'm a pc guy so I don't have much use for it. Microsoft is actually coming out with some kind of thing next year. It's supposed to be the new hotness.
