Plus, some they don't have the address of some sites correct. http://www.del.icio.us/ doesn't even resolve, and people use digg.com & wikipedia.org, not the "www" versions of those site.

My view is that there is a major shift underway - from the website(s) you go to with the multiple accounts that you have to manage, to an environment where you are the centre of your web universe. Browsers like Flock are the starting point for this - bringing together the various services you interact with on a day-to-day basis. Hopefully Microsoft will become aware of this to and start to offer this kind of user-centric service in IE. If they don't the 10s of millions of users that are using social networking services, Web2.0 services and actually interact with the web (as distinct from just searching and finding) will be moving away to other browsers or interfaces which enable them to bring their various accounts/services together. Whoever comes up with a user-centred interface that enables you to bring together all your stuff (delicious, email, yahoo photos, youtube, flickr, second life, work stuff) will be on a winner. It'll be the next killer app. This is right on the money.
