Sharing

Okay, so this post doesn't really have a whole lot to do with the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde. I'm sure we'll all get over it. Once in a while you learn a thing or two and feel the need to pass them on. Here goes...
If you, like me, spend more time surfing the net than watching television, or are obsessed with the social side of the world wide web, or have come to realize that the internet is the greatest informational invention since mankind learned to speak, then you might want to check out Flock. To be exact http://www.flock.com. Flock is basically a web browser designed with a number of interests in mind, mainly social networking and media feeds. There are a number of tools that come in handy, specifically one-click email buttons that allow you to go right into your email accounts once synched with Flock. As a matter of fact, it syncs with numerous other tools, like Blogspot. I have written this post through Flock, without even having to go into my blogspot/Google account. If you are one of the growing number of Facebook users, Flock meshes with multiple social networking sites.
I also use Flock for feeds from every major newssource, like US News & World Report, The Economist, CNN, and even FOX News. Having said that, I'd like to recommed two different sites that I've found quite interesting, both through the Falmouth Institute.
http://falmouth-air.blogspot.com/ and http://indianboardmembers.blogspot.com/ both can occasionally come off as somewhat gossipy, but overall they do a good job of covering national issues and the more detailed accounts of what goes on in other Tribes. Similarities galore!
