Wow. We honestly didn't prepare a speech for this event...
A few weeks back, Flock was humbled to have been nominated amongst such esteemed heavyweights as Facebook, Bebo, Ning and ChangeEverything.ca for the annual Webby Awards in the Social Networking category. Late last night, we were alerted that Flock won the Webby Award for this incredibly competitive category.  For a 40 person company, filled with passionate individuals who have been working late nights and straight through weekends, this is a very pleasant, unexpected, and flattering surprise!
This year marked the 12th annual Webby Awards ceremony. They received over 10,000 nominations from 60+ countries worldwide. The Webbys have long been recognized as a very special acknowledgement of the companies that are leading in key areas of excellence and innovation. Past Webby Award winners have included: Amazon.com, eBay, Yahoo!, iTunes, Google, NPR, Salon Magazine, Evite, Meetup, Wikipedia, Flickr, PBS, and The Onion.
We are delighted about receiving this prestigious award, and would also like to congratulate Facebook for winning the People's Voice award within the same category. We're very close with the good folks over at Facebook and always appreciate what good partners they have been to Flock.
As always, we continue to be grateful to the millions of users around the world who have downloaded Flock, and to those that continue to champion Flock as a fun, fresh and innovative alternative to conventional browsers.
Thanks to the Judges of the Webby Awards, as well as our own Community of Flockstars for making the first third of 2008 a wild success.
-Cheers!

Congratulations! I knew you guys would win. Flock Rocks! :D
Really. Congratulations in abundance! I love Flock and am almost at the point of making it my default browser. Heretofore I've used Opera for lots of reasons. But that is really changing fast as every time I go to the net now I see myself looking at the 'Opera' icon in my sidebar and then...clicking on Flock! You sure deserve this award and I look forward to the next 'update' with glee and, maybe, one day - some new skins! ;) Way to go Flock! Flock is a killer client for sure...
Let me add my congratulations and point out the award shouldn't have been a surprise. Don't you know how fantastic flock is? ;)
Way to go!!!!! Glad to see a browser take this award.
Wow! This gives all of us flock users a mandate to spread the word! hehehe. Nice work, nice product.
WOW, I cannot believe it. 10,000 nominations; That is too many, and only one winner. That is incredible.
But I am not surprise to see Flock winning; As Flock 100% deserve it :)
After winning the "Web Award at SXSW Conference", I see this second great achievement.

Flock is great -- you definitely deserve the award!
I was very happy with netscape navigator until they were no longer supported. Now that Flock has become my default browser,I can say that my surfing experience has never been easier,nor more pleasurable! TY
So many people I have mention Flock is very Good even under construction and now I can say, "look they won the 2008 Webby Award". I knew you guys could feel what people want in a browser. Thx for your love to all of us lovers of Flock.
God Bless Flock and its members and those who are missing.
IT is an honor to say that my FLOCKING has been true blue for over two years and every time I can do I highlight, share or show it off to friends online and through blog..can always pick the WINNERS.
Kudos, for being cast into a most favorable light.
Congratulations! Flock is great job!
Congratulations! flock'n'roll...................................................

Thanks for all the love, everyone! We wouldn't be here if it weren't for you, so keep on spreading the word and submitting your feedback and we'll keep making a Webby award-winning browser. :)

The flock browser is mimicked as a social networking program! Flock can do more than this trivia it can do things that originally I thought hard to do! But the way the world works we cannot sleep on our achievements and never get up! We have to go forward so Flock should go forward to! Yes, it has won a webby but that is history think what people need now! They need a video site downloader they need a app that could let people download videos from a website like YouTube,Daily Motion and even Flickr Video!
I'm very fan user and to me flock is the vest browser form Netscape....
as every day i remember -and to my friends too- welcome to the flockers world
Congrats from Santiago, Chile
You deserve to win this award, a great browser, that for me an equal distinction to firefox
I love it. However, one of my friend said that he cannot use flock to read chinese by using flock on apple computer. I do not know what is the deal with that. Also, flock is not that popular yet and I think I am the only one who use this in my school right now. I hope you guys can make this popular. It is fast and safe. I will try my best to get people to use FLOCK!!!
What the FLOCK did you expect?
Just a beginning user and have loved every minute of it so far!!
Thanks!
Congrats!
Seems that everyone here loves Flock what really doesn't surprise me. Tell your friends and we'll be not only best but the biggest one too:)
Congratulations Flock on wining the "Webby Award for Best in Social Networking" :)
I think Flock is the best Browser of all.
