Photobucket/flock

[mcox33]

Okay this is a little off topic, but has any one tried the new photobucket add on, called (flock) it is a complete web browser, that lets you have all your photobucket photos at the top of your browser, so that you can drag and drop them into post, e-mail or another web site, just by dragging and dropping them. Here is an example


It also lets you drag and drop them into photobucket. I just did about 70 pictures in less than 5 minutes

Watch that stuff I would not do any browser add ons!!!!!

They are very very very very very dangerous!!!!!!

9.99999 out of 10 of them are spyware/ key logger / pop up mechines!!!

They will watch key sites visited and key words typed like zip codes, common intrests and emails. Then you will get pop ups of thing relating to the sites you visited, or spam or you credit card number stolen!!

These type of things are snuck in allong with the program and you allowed them permission to do it when you clicked "ok" to the terms and conditions that most likely you did not read no one does they are 5 mile long and even if you did read them only a lawyer can decode them lol


Best advice ditch the thing and do it the old way I would bet just about any amount of money that its one of those programs do you think they would just do this for you free benifit?? No, they are doing it for the web sites that pay then $100's to get poped up or get you info!!


Any way just watch out

Some of the worst are

AOL
Yahoo

Sitck with good old internet explorer or Firefox

And might I say how nice the new internet explorer 7.0 is wow if you have not updated do it now its amazing it finally has tabs like firefox!!

Browser addons and tool bars are bad bad bad. Did you know when you install AOL instant messenger it ads a program called Viewpoint media play and manger? Bad trouble there.

Also Nathan did you know that there is already a dangerous vulnerability with IE 7? Stick with Firefox! much safer.

GEEZ - If that is a recent photo, I would worry about feeding those tangs. They looked like they are starving.

Actually it said it didn't have any of those things added. I just get tired of waiting 1 hour or more to upload 20 pictures. I is also easier than running back and forth between window to drag and drop or copy and paste.

The rest of the time it is just an icon on my desktop. (optional)

anyway it seems fine and hasn't crashed my computer yet. (KOW)
