Best built-in feature IMO? That if you open a link in a new tab, that tab opens next to the existing tab that you are in. The lamest feature has to be the RSS reader.. it's not even as good as the Safari RSS reader that it is modeled after. Lose. The Twitter support comes in as a close second. Alternatively, I think Digsby does almost all of this right.. the Twitter support isn't quite as nice as, say, Twhirl, but it's way better than Flock. And of course, it is a superlative IM client. I actually have a review of it <a href="http://www.scribkin.com/2008/04/25/tell-me-about-digsby/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Although I think Flock is slick, I don’t use it much.
