Flock Beta 0.7 is Out There

Flock emailed me today to let me know their new beta is ready for download. I had forgotten that I had even signed up. Obviously I did. If you didn't know:

Flock is a free web browser that makes it easier than ever to share photos, stay up-to-date with news from your favorite sites, and search the Web. Take our tour to learn what's different about Flock, then download the beta to get started - and please tell us what you think.

Basically it's the Web 2.0 browser of the future. The email went like this:

Greetings!

Early pioneers, you are receiving this note because you signed up for notification of Flock updates way back when. Since then we haven't notified you of any updates. After many months of hard work, here we are, letting you know that...the Flock Beta is finally here!

So, we imagine you might have one of the following reactions below:

A) Ohmigod! This is great news! Where can I get it???
B) Flock, they're still around? Lemmie see what they are up to.
C) Stop bothering me.

If you answered "C", please accept our apology and click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of this email. Everyone else, please read below:

Flock, the company, launched to a lot of press coverage (some might even say hype) last October, at a time when our product was in developer preview and not quite ready for everyday use. Since then, we have spent a lot of time listening to people and figuring out how to make a better browser.

Here is Bart's summary on the release from his recent blog post: "For this release, and for at least the next year or so, we are primarily focused on supporting the social dimension of the web, and on bringing information closer to the user. Right now this includes a heavy emphasis on the photo experience (from upload through discovery to notification), RSS support, dramatic improvements to the search box (including a new take on favorites), and blogging."


While there is a lot of work ahead of us, we are really proud of what the team has done and are eager to get your feedback. Please let us know what you think - try Flock by downloading it at http://www.flock.com/download.

Kind regards,


The Flock Team
