Posting from a browser.

Yes, the title sounds weird, but keep reading and you will know why …

I’m using a new browser called Flock to get this post to my blog, is firefox-based and is oriented to social web applications and Web2.0, is currently under developement and available only for testing.

Two facts that caught my attention where that

1. The integration of online tools is really amazing, and
2. It requires broadband access.

So, who cares, who doesn’t have broadband access these days … well, the sad answer is: the vast majority of the online world.

This makes me think on the excelent web2.0 apps and the hype that the social web is generating, we may be going a little elitists wile creting exciting new apps that run great on our high speed Internet connections but … they wont be truly social apps since they’re not available for everyone.

So Flock’s motto: “it should be easy for everyone to contribute to and participate on the web.” and the Web2.0 principles should be paying good atention to the Internet access issues before creating a huge and amazing new “democratic” web that will only be used by few lucky humans.
