It's one of my favourites. Thought your comments on the need to compartmentalise identity in this post were spot on. I already do this by directing my business contacts to Linkedin and keeping friends and family pointed towards Facebook. I'm guessing that many others I know do this too. Like you, what I like about Flock is how it allows the user to keep tabs on their contacts across multiple services from one location. Clever stuff. Warm regards, Alex Moore Hi Nic,
