Stop Buzzing Flock, it's turning off !
There was big discussion about Flock in the blogosphere, Flock the browser that have been developped specially for bloggers with lot of great features and design improvements. But Chris have posted …Wanted to destroy something beautiful, looks like they are not getting enough from it and already looking for more.
[...] We will destroy it because the ideas are weak, the promise less than what we desire, less than what we are capable of. We will kill it because it needs to be killed. Because evolution is inevitable. [...]
In my small experience with Flock it was very much resources consuming like many others have noticed, and didn't bring big features. All what flock do could be done simply in an extension, something what performancing have done. So what they could do more with Flock ? I'm not sure, specially that there is also problem of compatibilities between Firefox extensions and Flock, and in the same time updating Flock with the latest Mozilla security update. Don't think that the development of a browser is that easy task !
But in a very short time, Flock took attention of the blogosphere and got their Buzz for many reasons. It's for bloggers, based on Firefox ... two big communities which are the most active today. The future of Flock is very unkown today after this announcement, will they stop developping Flock and start a new brand ? A new team will continue the development of Flock, will be there a version 1.0 at least ?
And if they drop flock what could be their next project ? will they continue or find it again not like their desire ? I'm not sure ! But I'm sure of just one thing is that their investors won't be that happy.
