The key idea in flock (to me) is simplicity. I work with a lot of faculty and students who would do well to take advantage of the affordances of social software like del.icio.us and flickr. And while they do so, most do so only to a minimal level.
I think we in the "geek crowd" tend to forget how complex some of this stuff is for average users and how difficult it is to create and sustain a group using a myriad of plug-ins and extensions and web-services to try to achieve what is really pretty simple integration. If flock can help with that, then I am all for it. I don't see their chosen target as the result of a lack of innovation, or if it is, at least it is after a different and equally worthwhile goal. c -- Chris Lott _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.del.icio.us/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
