Hey Flockstars,

We're always trying to make Flock better.  Features, options, performance, discoverability...the whole gamut.  Part of this process involves product testing: we bring in folks who have never used Flock and see what they like, what they discover, and what they don't.  It's helpful to get a fresh perspective; we use Flock all the time, so we already know where everything is.

Our latest round of product testing has been an in-depth look at how people use Flock over weeks, rather than just their first run.  We give our testers Flock and have them use it for a few weeks, reporting back every week or so.  Now that we've done this with non-Flockers, we'd like to bring some of you into the study!  Here are the details:

  • You will use an early build of Flock 1.0 as your primary browser for approximately 5 weeks (including exciting features which will not disappoint)
  • You will participate in 5 sessions from home via WebEx or a similar program for 30 minutes to 1 hour each
  • You will maintain a journal of internet activity, issues, and preferences

If you are selected to participate in this study and successfully complete it, you will get paid $200 to use Flock.  Nifty, eh?

If you're interested in being involved in this study, please fill out [Sorry, survey closed].  Keep in mind that we're looking for people who fall into the specific bucket that will get us the most valuable results. If we don't choose you, it's not because we don't like you or because you don't use Flock well. 

Looking forward to working with some of you in these sessions to make Flock an even better browser!

Flock on,

I am very impressed with Flock as a browser. My only complaint / comment - I will always want my own homepage to be opened and never Yahoo, yet that option, while present must be reset EACH time Flock is restarted despite the content of the check box. Why? Same problem in last version. I don't care for Yahoo.
