Flock Blog


 
Posted February 11, 2009 - 11:04am by Dan Burkhart

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!)

This Valentine’s Day, we’d like you to turn your friends on to the browser that helps put people together. Instead of handing off an unoriginal box of chocolates, tell the people you care about to download Flock and you’ll be turning them on to a browser that inspires people to stay connected with the friends and things they care about most in their lives.  Take it a step further and offer a personal tutorial to show this person how to get their accounts set up, and voila - you’ll find that your Valentine will be impressed and amazed by what a guru you are.

Now you’ve just turned someone on to a browser that will change the way that they experience the Web, you’ve impressed them with your knowledge, and you’ve done it for free. Knowledge is a dangerous thing when you’re a bit crafty. We trust you can take it from there.

Thanks for helping to turn people on to Flock! We hope things go well. We’re always here to help.

Send us some notes to let us know how things went for you (email: flockteam at flock dot com). We always like to hear about good Flock introductions! We’ll be dropping some packages of goodies in the mail to those that make us laugh and cheer the most.

-Cheers

Releasing a pink or red version of Flock might also make it super special :)

Hehe there's absolutely no way i would do this as a substitute for a valentines gift, no offense, but id rather get through the day in one piece!

i think what rachel suggested is a great idea, iv'e only recently installed Flock and i like it but i'm not really feeling the blue colour scheme on My World, is there any way i can change it from blue? if not it would be cool if we could personalize the colour scheme a bit like twit backs/YouTube channel etc. It would be great if we could call the homepage whatever we want aswell, rather than just my world, perhaps even upload our own photo?

@Rachel and @will: There are a few themes available at https://extensions.flock.com/themes, and more should hopefully be coming soon!

@will: Ok, maybe you need to get something else too...but it never hurts to throw in a Flock tutorial! :)

@will you can rename My World! Just click the title at the upper left hand corner of the screen and the title should turn into an editable field. So there's a start at least. :)

thanks for the replies, have just changed it now :) .. If the guys at flock would consider the customizable colour scheme that would be awesome, maybe even just an option to add your own background image, not sure how easy it would be to implement though

thanks,
will

As good as this sounds, I'm afraid my second half wouldn't really appreciate a unique gift like this ;) Unless supplemented with flowers, candy, wine etc. Anyway, thanks for constantly working on Flock. It's already the ultimate browser for all your social networking needs, the only thing I can think of that would be useful would be several more themes to choose from.
Keep up the good work guys and girls!

another good one would be the possibility of multiple sessions. I mean, we share our computers, and don't want create or log in to other OS sessions, but just to set another profile on Flock.

hi,

i was looking for netscape browser the other day and found flock on its site. installed it already. different from IE, Mozila and netscape. and the good part is i can easily log to Blog and Wordpress. thanks guys.thumbs up....

Ok, so I know it's after Feb. 14th, but maybe someone will review this and remember for next year. Each year for about the last 13 years I've gotten my wife heart shaped pizza. Now you could kick it up a notch and get heart shaped doughnuts from Krispy Kreme as well.

Haha, I agree with the above poster as much as I would love to use this is a V-Day gift I would really like to survive the day and still be in a relationship.

if i can customize flock similar to what seamonkey can do, i will consider the suggestion of this post. flock is so cool don't get me wrong but if I can change google heading in flock with a birthday greeting, that will make it more applicable to give this browser as gift to someone you love.

I know it's after valentines day,but,this is an awesome idea. It's very personal if you make a valentines page for your sweety!

I suggest it should be green,I like green and green is useful for eyes.

The newly released FLV to MP3 converter is obviously a breakthrough in the whole FLV audio to MP3 formats field. not merely because it can feel free to convert FLV to MP3, but aslo its suprising MP3 converting output formats.

yeah!!! I love spring time!!! xD

Valentine's Day I hope I can also receive a beautiful gift.

FLV Converter for Mac is an excellent FLV Youtube Converter Mac. This freeware FLV Converter for Apple Mac can convert FLV Youtube to all common popular format with perfect quality and fast conversion speed.

We at Infotech Systems used our sites to promote Valentine's day in a way that we haven't tried before. All of our web designers made an small animation with a heart filled with blinking text. All our customers where satisfied with that kind of idea so we implemented that flash on every web site we made. And people liked. Promotion of any kind is good as long as your visitor like it.

If you want a trendy browser,I suggest you to shift to FLOCK as this is the thing which has a cool and userfriendly interface with quick browsing features.

Haha.. nice tip

this is erally nice article.

Unless she decides that it's just too nerdy for her. I'd have some flowers prepared as a backup just in case.

We want to conect with you couse' we made a silmilar swedish homepage for everyone that loves to go in a "flock" Johan as you can see is a typical exemple of a flock that walkes into a flock. You can say that he swims in a stim ( i can't translate from swedish ).

Best regards/ Johan

PS. Join my flock. we love to fuck!

Very nice post. testking 70-121 and testking 70-216 courses are cheap but i prefer to others testking 70-219 because its very easy.

yeah, this is cheap and can be the best gift for valentines. with this you can give opportunities to your love one o be connected to many people.

That's very great.I love to see it.Thanks for sharing this.Allergy Resources

I know within a week or so, you will be seeing recession-friendly Valentine day ideas everywhere , but you can trust me - I won't bore you with pre-packaged chocolates, 1+1 roses, bought-at-drugstore Teddy Bears and made-in-China sexy lingerie. Instead, I'd like to think about creative ways to spend this (very stressful for many men) day, without compromising on expensive pre-fix dinner or a cheesy gift.

What could we do to celebrate the love, the relationships, the friendship, the intimacy?

Choose the best Gift, jewellery collection that will accent your natural beauty may not be that difficult if you know what you like and you have an eye for style.
