Thanks. I had a similar comment from Chris when I originally mentioned Performancing in an earlier post. I understand the integration, but if the first thing I think about (even after Chris’ explanation) when I see Qumana is how it compares to both Performancing and Flock… well, then I would say you *are* competing with these other tools.

I think this is the case because the blogging capability was the first Flock feature that set you apart from the others - it is what compelled me to download & install the package (and post about it). So the blogging capability *became* Flock. And that’s the criteria against which it will be perceived and measured for quite some time. Initial impressions are incredily long-lasting.

We’re not competing with Performancing and other tools, we’re providing a complete experience including Favorites, Web Clipboard and Photos. In particular I think that the web clipboard and the photo browser is a useful for bloggers (it’s a pain to blog photos without it).

So in short we don’t expect users to use Flock only for the blog module, but the complete set of features it offers and for the integration between these different features.
