Spread Flock Brainstorming

Hola amigos,

It is too early to tell if we are ready for a "Spread Flock" campaign, but already a ton of you are doing awesome work showing your friends and family Flock! Thanks!

Let's brainstorm, guys. If you were to have an almighty pack of Flock materials to show your buddies how cool Flock is, what would you include? What kinds of images would you want? What kind of schwag would people find useful in promoting Flock? What would you use to show a person what Flock can do?

What kinds of initiatives would you like us take? Are there things that we can do to help you spread Flock?

After reading will tschumy's latest blog post about possibly moving the topbar, I would say it is definately too early for a spread flock campaign.

Whilst I have and continue to spread flock in my small circle of friends/family, there is simply too much happening/proposed for the browser to release a full scale marketing campaign. I would say that the vast majority of early adopters understand what your doing and what you are trying to work towards, but the normal user (whatever that is) would expect to install a browser and not see significant UI changes. Get the UI sorted for release 1.0, then ask us to spread something that isn't so fluid. Of course additional functionality will always be necessary to keep up with the times, but you need a firm and unchanging base on which to build.

I don't want egg on my face, I don't want to say wow photo sharing is great with this flock topbar, only for someone to come back to me in a few weeks time saying what topbar?

As for the campaign, we need to look at areas that flock has improved. You started this with the drag and drop photo comments and "blogged with flock". What about an optional line of text such as "drag and dropped with flock" put into every flickr photo description.

There is also the need to look at communication methods and where you can tie into that. There is one email sig available, maybe we need more. I visit forums a lot, is there anyway to have a "posted with flock" tagline or image? Comments on blogs: is there anyway to insert a small image or text tagline such as commented with flock everytime I comment on a blog?

Who knows.
