We’re not new to this social Web game, either. Our tendencies to float toward extensibility and “custom consumerism” instead of targeted marketing. Spreadshirt allows you to create your own designed T-shirts, simply giving us the base interface and capability to do so. WordPress gives us the capability to post things, but it’s the extensibility allowed by plugins and themes that really add the true power to the system. Yahoo’s Widgets (previously Konfabulator) and Apple’s Dashboard give us that same sort of extensibility on the desktop. With Google’s Personalised Homepage and Protopage, we’re given a basic homepage from which we choose the features most relevant to us. Our favourite Web 2.0 applications are actually just base frameworks that we add our own functionality and content to instead of accepting pre-packaged functionality from others. Why, then, is Flock and its buzz seemingly missing this? Why are we to accept what their vision of an ideal browser is instead of building one for ourselves? What if we don’t want their specific functionality? We’re stuck with it. What if we want new functionality? Even though Flock’s Firefox compatibility allows the use of Extensions, Firefox stock extensions will not work in Flock without changes. Flock, when viewed in this grand social scheme of things, loses a lot of the lustre and social vision that they’re trying to build into it.

The whole blogosphere has been talking about it, except us, but I promise I’ll have a full review of it tomorrow (I want to make sure to spend some real time with the browser to get a fair review). Anyways, I got a great tip in my e-mail the other day on how to convert a Firefox extension into a Flock extension. This is possible, of course, because Flock is based on the latest Firefox codebase. The process is fairly simple and requires you adding a couple of lines to the extension code (not as hard as it may sound). You can find full details and instructions over at LiewCF.com. Please note that not all extensions may work with this, but it’s worth a shot if you don’t want to be without your favorite tool.
