DownloadSquad’s take on Flock2. Flock 2 is here, continues to underwhelm – Download Squad
It isn’t too bad. I have discontinued using Flock a few days after its initial release, it was memory hungry. Flock2 seems to do a better job, and i like some of the new social features, media streams, webmail checker etc. Omnibar would be a good addition. Overall.. Thumbsup!

KallOut is the first application to bring “selection-based search” to any web page, email, presentation, document, spreadsheet or PDF. Unlike other search methods that are trapped inside the browser, KallOut serves up content from the most popular sites on the web inside floating information palettes (which we call KallOuts). Using only your mouse, you can now avoid the disruption of launching a browser and let KallOut bring you the best the web has to offer. Socialmention allows you to track conversations about you, your company, a new product, or any topic across the Web’s social media landscape.
KallOut is impressive. SocialMention’s Blog search is great.. while Microblogs search lags.
