Gmail This & Flock Update
![]()
I saw this on LifeHacker today - a Gmail This bookmarklet! With the Gmail This bookmarklet you can easily email the URL of the page you are on to your friends with a click of a button. Nice link, LifeHacker! Sweet.

For the record, I couldn’t drag it anywhere in Flock - it wouldn’t let me add it to my toolbar. (As you may remember, I’ve been forcing myself to Flock this week). I opened up Firefox so I could add the bookmarklet, though. Firefox, glorious Firefox! It was so speedy and bright. I missed it. I had actually gotten used to these random CPU spikes that slow me down in Flock every few minutes.(..moments). Did I install a bad extension, I had wondered? I uninstalled the Google Toolbar extension, remembering when this had screwed up Firefox, but the spikes continue. I closed some tabs. Too many? Is hansoexposed.com eating up some precious cycles? It didn’t help. I type, the CPU spikes. I can’t even blog with Flock (well I can, but when I insert pictures into the post, the text doesn’t wrap. Pointless). So for me, for now at least, Flock is a great concept, not so great in practice. Firefox beckons, I must return. The week’s up anyway. (The weekend doesn’t count, right?)

Hmm…I was able to drag this to my favorites toolbar first time with no problems. Maybe try it again?
Ah, right. Again, this goes back to the problem with not being able to put my fav bookmarks on my “Address Bar” (the one with the buttons). That’s where I keep my top 3 or 4 bookmarks in Firefox. Being so used to Firefox, I still tried to drag this to the right of my last browser button. This doesn’t work in Flock. I had hid my acutal “Bookmarks Toolbar” to get my more screen real estate. I unhid it, and yeah, I can drag it there.
Interesting … I’m using Flock right now and have been noticing some performance issues. Usually they go away when I quit and restart Flock.
Did you ever have Flock windows kind of move around on you without warning? I had that, and took a little video of it …
