But despite his departure from BBC Haveyoursay, his pictures with the team are still on BBC blog: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/worldhaveyoursay/ They are a record of the memorable moments he created with the team for BBC world audience. One thing that his pictures say about him is that he has team spirit, capable of linking with the rest of the world. Such as what Kevin Anderson is!!!

As I said, Flock is my main browswer at work now, and I'm hugely impressed with the improvements in both the stability and features since I first tried it a year ago. Also, thanks for some great customer/collaborator service on this one. The news industry could take a page from community ambassadors like yourself on how to be responsive to their audience, or as I often point out to sceptical journalists - the people who pay our bills.

You can enable a session saver which allows you to reload tabs from saved or the last session. But TMP was about a lot more than that. The reopen closed tabs was also essential to me, which is not built in. Also the way it stacked open tabs in rows, rather than having one very long one was nice. There is a new version of TMP out, but I am going to wait a bit longer and give Flock a proper trial. Will, thanks for your email. I'll respond soon as I get a moment.

Losing SessionSaver would be a deal-breaker for me too. But I'd read somewhere that this functionality would be built into Firefox 2.0 - not so? Getting back on topic, I will have another look at Flock - integration between Firefox and blogworld is good, but it could be a lot better.
