Great idea! I'm sure you will be subject to network effects. What about users without a facebook?

Thanks! We're working on it! Next release will have ability to create an account w/ email address as well

Love it. This would definitely solve a problem for me if I could get my whole clique to use it.

Yea the big hurdle is to get users to build up their network of close friends.

What happens if my friends are on Android? What is the fail scenario?

[awaxman11 → Zhenya]

We are working on making it available for everyone, stay tuned! In the meantime, you can share your Flock w/ Android friends through text message, email, twitter, and facebook

Great presentation of the idea/app.

The name "Flock" was already used a few years back, for a browser that had some social media integration: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flock_(web_browser)

Given how that effort appears to have failed, the name "Flock" is somewhat tainted for many people who remember that browser.

Yea, we know the name Flock is not unique but it's so good at embodying the functionality of the app we decided to stick with it.
