Manage Your Multiple Social Personalities with Flock Profiles

1 Comment 08 November 2007

First off, for those of you new to Flock, check out what all the browser can do for you by viewing their quick (beautifully-designed) introduction on the Flock home page: flock.com.

Now, are you one of those people that have multiple user accounts on sites like Facebook, Flickr or YouTube? Maybe you have one set of accounts for your business and another set for yourself…and yet another set for your superhero alter-ego: Loser Man or Backne Girl. If so, Flock (Mozilla, actually*) answers your cry for help with “profiles.”

Here’s what you do: with Flock closed, go to Start > Run and, in the prompt, type in “flock.exe -ProfileManager” without the quotes. Once the Profile Manager comes up, just click on “Create Profile” to go through the Create Profile Wizard. You can choose your new profile name and its’ location.

After you’re done, you’ll return to the Profile Manager where you can choose whether or not Flock should ask you which profile to use upon launching the browser.

Simple as that.
