Chris Messina on Whether He Would Do Anything Differently at Flock
I recently called attention to Chris Messina’s interview on CocoaRadio, where he talked a bit about how Flock came about and the vision that the Flock team has about changing the way we use the web. As you probably know, Flock has endured the equivalent of a public caning for supposedly raising expectations so high and then failing to deliver. Mind you, they’ve been at this for under a year and have released very-beta / developer versions of the software, but a lot of the tech community was up in arms about the state of the application when they released the first version last fall.
Today, Chris reflects on his blog about all of this excitement, recognition, and backlash that he and the team have experienced. He wonders – would he do it again the same way if he had a chance?
Another great statement in his post that I believe epitomizes the goals of Flock, when Chris reflects on how he…
“…was able to get the job I currently have now, doing what I’ve always dreamed of doing: taking back control over technology and putting it to work for regular folks (myself included!).”
What is Chris’ conclusion? What would he change? … Read his whole post, it’s a good one!
I have a growing admiration and excitement for the Flock team and the goals they are pursuing. I know we will all see more from them soon.
