Every year, the South By Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin brings people together to “uncover the best new websites and celebrate those who are building and implementing tomorrow's online trends”. This year, Flock has been selected as a finalist for web awards issued in the “Community” category of sites and services. A list of all finalists in all categories is posted here.

We’ve always been a big fan of the South By Southwest conference. It’s original goal was “…to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to … bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas”. They’ve consistently put on a good event by bringing smart, innovative, cool people together in the great city of Austin to have a good time and engage in interesting discussions about the latest ideas happening on the web. 

This aligns very nicely our goal and vision for what we’ve embarked on doing for you, the users of the Flock browser. Flock’s charter is to continually develop a far superior browsing experience by allowing people to continually engage with their favorite communities and services, no matter where they are on the web. Once people get familiar with Flock, they find great comfort with a nice blend of freedom and connected-ness in their daily lives online.

We’re delighted that Flock has been identified, amongst other impressive peers, as a company that is leading today’s innovation in the area of Community. It goes without saying, that ALL of the credit for this recognition goes to you, the community of Flock users, who have been providing such spirited feedback, and spreading the word about Flock so quickly. Your enthusiasm is fueling better innovation, making Flock a better product, and helping more people discover that there is a much better browser choice available to suit their needs.

We’re looking forward to attending the SXSW conference and mixing it up with the many great people doing interesting things on the Web.
