I have recently gone back to using FireFox again as Flock is not as stable when you have 100 tabs open as I always do.  I like the delicious extension available at del.icio.us - Firefox extension.  Its really crucial to get an account at del.icio.us and start tagging your links and bookmarks.  This is an excellent way to share your findings with your friends.  You can add your new del.icio.us account info to your account right here at thefractal.org/user ... click the delicious tab on the far right and type your username and password for delicious.  Now we can see your bookmarks.. We can discuss what youve found... For blogging I like http//www.performancing.com/firefox .  or wblogger which has drag and drop now...

A few tips on things I am up to right now that you might find useful:

• blog from your browser right into your webpage(if your webpage is cool like ours and uses drupal.org as its software backend... some others work too.. wordpress, moveable type, etc..) ( i am writing this in my browser right now)
  
• flickr.com which is a cool place to share photos.. and you can drag and drop them into the blogging window of flock! there is a tool bar of your flickr photos in the blog window... cool!
  
• flock has a "shelf area" where you can drag a drop links from the web to be blogged about latter...  COOL!!!!
• flock shares your bookmarks with your friends.. you click the star button and you "tag" them with words that describe them to organize them.. revolutionary! this works via del.icio.us you NEED an account there.  even cooler is that drupal allows you to share these bookmarks in your website... mine are at thefractal.org
• start flocking today!!!

It has begun...

Welcome to our new websites.. TheFractal.org is home to many businesses and organizations.  We are here to create a better kind of website. One that is transparent with information as the driving force.  Through interactive and dynamic websites that you and I can both contribute to, we hope to bring you the best information on the projects and ideas that we are passionate about..  These websites are built on Drupal and Civicspace, which is a distribution of Drupal.... The most powerful software available for building dynamic websites.  The development community behind Drupal is extremely active.  All the bases are being covered.  This has led to Drupal being used for such high profile websites as MoveOn.org, Deanspace.org, OurMedia.org and the internet archive, the backends of Yahoo, Skype and Ebay, theonion.com, and many more progressive sites focused on community driven information portals.  Drupal is extensible, flexible, scalable, secure, hip and is considered by Macromedia to be the premier open source development platform.
