Will Pate's Blog » Flock http://www.willpate.org Peek into a mind of boundless curiosity Wed, 04 Jan 2012 20:03:14 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Sublimating http://www.willpate.org/2006/12/11/sublimating/ http://www.willpate.org/2006/12/11/sublimating/#comments Mon, 11 Dec 2006 23:07:40 +0000 willpate http://www.willpate.com/2006/12/11/sublimating/ Over the next few weeks I will be moving to a part time contract position with Flock and handing over much of the community management to Evan Hamilton. You’ll still see me blogging for them a few times a week about community news (send me stuff!), gathering feedback and responding to bloggers and pitching in to help him where it fits. Evan is very capable, a natural at the job and I have great faith in him. I hope the Flock community gives him the same warm welcome and cooperation they did for me.

Before the rumor mill starts, allow me to nip it in the bud – this was my decision and I will remain a part of the Flock family. In the fast paced environment of a startup, it’s a big challenge to be the lead community facing person. Being off site in Canada and made it even harder to give the community the excellent work they deserve.

I’m not sure yet what my next full time adventure will be, but you can keep in the loop here on my blog and my Flickr photos, and you can always get in touch if you want to. Who knows, maybe I’ll even start a YouTube show. If you want to endorse the work I did at Flock, please add one to my LinkedIn profile. If you know anyone that needs a community person to rock out their company, let me know. I’ll probably post more about what I’m looking for later.

If you’re wondering where I got the blog post title from, well Chris Messina and Andy Smith both used the same one when they became Flock alumni too.

About 1/3 of Flock works out of Victoria BC! Here are some pictures from today, with more on the way. You can watch the flocknorth tag on Flickr to see new pics of the office.
