In the spirit of procrastination and the fact some people here would get the most from this. I found Flock.
Its a web browser based on FireFox with a social theme. Been using it for the last week and finding it real useful. It's basically Firefox with a couple of side bars. Except the side bars get your friends from f8, links from magnolia, delicious, RSS feeds and online media from your friends on FlickR, Phtotobucket and a internal blogger linked to most blog site. And my favorite a web clip board. Drag a picture from a site to it, it copys, the image link and site which you can then view or blog directly from, brilliant for that I'll blog about that later.
Even through it's a beta, I haven't noticed any problems with it's operation. You can add firefox extensions, though some are hit and miss. Few little problems with its usability, i.e. accidentally open a window to the current page instead of a new tab.
Personally I hate using sidebars, that are to structured, and hard to remove, bt this is just a click to show and hid it...very userful.

Your thoughts are interesting,
I used Flock years ago when it was pre-alpha, it was an interesting concept, however I just cant stand everything being wrapped into single applications, cause I don't want to necessarily get rid of what I already use. Flock is kind of nice cause its still a gecko/mozilla/firefox build, but yeah, seemed a bit too Opera'fied for me.
Good to see people are investigating Flock tho!
opera'fied. nice.
