Community

At Flock, we love to hear from you. We want to make sure that Flock continues to help you discover, enjoy and share the relationships and content you’re passionate about. So while you’ve been talking, we’ve been listening. The result is a new version of Flock that reflects the new ways you want to use your favorite social browser along with two of your favorite networks—Twitter and Facebook.

Hey Flockstars,

I'm super excited to announce a brand new tool for all of you passionate Flockstars out there!

Top Flockstars is a way for you to get recognized and rewarded for your hard work telling the world how much you love Flock.

While we often think of social media as a way to connect with our broad circle of friends, its influence has gone beyond the bounds of entertainment and communication to truly democratize information and to transform “readers” and “consumers” into publishers. Flock celebrates the diversity of human self-expression by making it simple to participate, publish and “write to the web” from your browser.

Hey Flockstars,

In 2008 we launched the first ever Flocktography Photo Challenge.  We asked you, our fantastic community, to share photos of yours that you felt represented the feeling you get when you use Flock...the excitement, the sense of community, the ease of use, etc.

Earlier this year, Flock announced a specialized Eco-Edition of our browser geared towards those interested in environmental topics ranging from climate change to alternative energy, from hybrid vehicles to green design and green cuisine. As part of this release, we pledged that 10% of the proceeds generated from searches conducted in Flock’s Eco-Edition would be donated back to the environmental organization deemed most popular and fitting by the community of Eco-Edition users.

We’re quickly approaching the holiday that is designed to make you pause and think about the person in your life that is most deserving of a gesture of fondness. For some it’s a big deal…for others, it’s more of a device to drum up some action in their life that doesn’t currently exist. (Go get ‘em, Tiger!)

2008 was a great year for Flock. We launched Flock 2.0, added integration with MySpace, Digg and WebMail, secured new funding and received numerous awards. And we reached an important milestone: Flock has been downloaded over 6 million times. While our technical accomplishments, partnerships and kudos from bloggers and the press mean a great deal to us, the most gratifying accomplishments of the year came from you, the people that use Flock every day.

Hey Flockstars,

I just wanted to remind you that (nearly) every week I hold Community Office Hours on Monday at 11am PST.

While you're always welcome to contact us on GetSatisfaction, IRC, or by email (evan at flock dot com), I am often unable to talk in real-time during the week.  Things come up...meetings, brainstorms, sudden bouts of synchronized dancing and singing, etc.

Ever since Flock was founded, we have envisioned the role of the browser to be much greater than an application that simply lets you view your favorite websites. Throughout the many versions of Flock released to the public to date, we have focused on key innovations that help you stay connected with your favorite sites, people, media and content so that you can be a happier, more informed and plugged-in person.
