Fun With Flock’s Media Bar
August 27, 2007
I have to admit that even after over a year working at Flock I’m still addicted to the media bar. Our 0.9 version adds a bunch of new functionality but my favorite is being able to save Flickr and YouTube search queries and getting notified when their are updates. Just type in some search terms in the Media bar search I’ve nostalgically starred queries for places I’ve lived in (Allston, MA and Vestal, NY) as well as where I live now.
My two favorite queries at the moment that I’ve got starred are “Ultimate Frisbee” (A sport I played at a fairly competitive level when I live in Boston. At least I thought I was good until I attending an open practice with DOG) on Flickr and “Guitar Instructions” on YouTube (An instrument I’m completely talentless on).
The “Ultimate Frisbee” query has yielded fantastic images almost every day. An awesome layout here:

If I was only 20 years younger and 20lbs lighter.
There are also a lot of folks willing to share their guitar knowledge on Youtube which is awesome. There is no shortage of how to videos for “Stairway to Heaven”, :-).
Enjoy!
