UPDATE: You've chosen Felicia Bradley's "Floatin'" as the Flocktography Photo Challenge Grand Prize Winner!

Hey Flockstars,

In 2008 we launched the first ever Flocktography Photo Challenge.  We asked you, our fantastic community, to share photos of yours that you felt represented the feeling you get when you use Flock...the excitement, the sense of community, the ease of use, etc.

Earlier this year, Flock announced a specialized Eco-Edition of our browser geared towards those interested in environmental topics ranging from climate change to alternative energy, from hybrid vehicles to green design and green cuisine. As part of this release, we pledged that 10% of the proceeds generated from searches conducted in Flock’s Eco-Edition would be donated back to the environmental organization deemed most popular and fitting by the community of Eco-Edition users.

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!)

2008 was a great year for Flock. We launched Flock 2.0, added integration with MySpace, Digg and WebMail, secured new funding and received numerous awards. And we reached an important milestone: Flock has been downloaded over 6 million times. While our technical accomplishments, partnerships and kudos from bloggers and the press mean a great deal to us, the most gratifying accomplishments of the year came from you, the people that use Flock every day.

Hey Flockstars,

I just wanted to remind you that (nearly) every week I hold Community Office Hours on Monday at 11am PST.

While you're always welcome to contact us on GetSatisfaction, IRC, or by email (evan at flock dot com), I am often unable to talk in real-time during the week.  Things come up...meetings, brainstorms, sudden bouts of synchronized dancing and singing, etc.

Ever since Flock was founded, we have envisioned the role of the browser to be much greater than an application that simply lets you view your favorite websites. Throughout the many versions of Flock released to the public to date, we have focused on key innovations that help you stay connected with your favorite sites, people, media and content so that you can be a happier, more informed and plugged-in person.

Hey Flockstars,

I just had to share this video with you.  Flock's CEO Shawn Hardin stopped by the TechNow show (as seen on several California NBC stations) to talk about Flock 2.0, and I think it turned out great!

What I love about this video is how they deconstruct the browser piece by piece.  Flock can be intimidating at first (something we're constantly working on improving), but the way they split up the features is a fantastic way to introduce them.

Also, I think that's probably the coolest that Shawn's name has ever looked.

Hey Flockstars,

I want to clarify Flock's intentions and the new direction of the Flock extensions page, extensions.flock.com  (EFC).

We haven't stopped hosting extensions, we've just simplified the back-end submission process, and content that we host.  One of the great bonuses of this is our new ability to host Flock themes.

Less than a year after the initial release of Flock 1.0, we are proud to release Flock 2.0. Flock 2.0 has been through three beta cycles, enjoyed tremendous feedback from our community of users and is a significant step forward in capability and quality. And, this final release of Flock 2.0 has some great new capabilities that have not been made available in any prior 2.0 beta release. Let me take a moment to tell you what to expect in Flock 2.0.
