Flock favorites manager

Flock favorites manager by factoryjoe.
The totally redesigned favorites manager. Yes, we're calling them favorites because bookmarks are for books. And besides, Flickr is a good source of design inspiration. ;)

I see you've kept Firefox's feed icon, more or less. Which is fine; I'm fond of it and used to it already, so I'd guess most users are.

Right off the bat, the fact that you're adding tags in the favorites by defalut is a godsend. Web 2.0 users expect tags, not static bookmarks!

Are these "collections" of favorites something like Flickrs "sets" of photos?

Okay, no, bookmarks is a much better term. There's all sorts of things in computers that have a real-world equivalent.
Probably my most significant, qualm, however, is that 'favorites' is a spelling mistake outside the US.

If bookmarks were what we were expressing, yeah, it's a better term. But we're not. We're showing interesting in something that may constantly be changing, like a blog homepage. A bookmark should go to a permalink whereas our concept of favorites encompasses both feeds and standard URLs (which both likely change frequently). It's a fundamentally different way to understand content on the web.

And yes, "Favourites" is preferred outside the US. Perhaps we'll localize to that standard. Not sure though.

That makes sense enough. If you have a good reasoning behind it, and you have a British/Canadian localization, I'll be happy. Thanks!
