2:30 Video: PC World’s Editor in Chief Harry McCracken loves Flock

Categories: Interview, Video, Web ToolsPosted on October 28th, 2007

Editor in Chief (I flubbed the intro) of PC World Harry McCracken (personal blog) loves Flock, so much so that he gave me 2 minute of his time to tell me why. If you want to read his full review, it’s on PCWorld. Previously, I was unconvinced there was room for three browsers in my life, but downloaded it and gave it a whirl. The jury is still out, it takes me time to see if it will really integrate into my lifestyle. I received some feedback about it on Twitter, such as Dennis Howlett tweets “you realize Flock’s OPML import is utterly borked, rendering it almost useless?” amid a mixture of other responses.

One of the best part of the experience is the truly human experience, it’s so common that large and small companies are so visibly unhuman in their website experience. If you’ve any questions about flock, or need quick answers Evan Hamilton the community ambassador (who stepped in after Will Pate moved on) is available. Next time I see him, I’ll get him on video to find out how he’s enjoying being a community manager.

I met up with Harry at Eastwick Communication’s halloween party in Santa Clara, had a great time, met a lot of folks, pics are in flickr of the party.

Have you tried the latest version of flock? It has social features that hook into Facebook, Flickr, Blogging platforms, and Twitter.

[...] Eastwick would like to thank everyone for joining us and making last week’s Black and Orange Bash the best yet. The art, music, and food created a terrific setting, but it was the incredible group of more than 200 people and the prolific networking that made the night so memorable. From reconnecting with old friends to meeting interesting members of the Silicon Valley tech scene, the party was tremendous. The event also garnered some pretty nice press in The Wall Street Journal, eWeek, and Jeremiah Owyang’s blog. [...]
