The other day, I went to reread an amazing article Eli Goldberg wrote on “Verifying a bug” written when we were both working at Flock. I was saddened to find that http://wiki.flock.com/ has been replaced by a sparse “Flock developer website” and I couldn’t find that article.

Mark Towfiq, Flock Vice President of Engineering and Product Development, departure was “announced” today after 1.5 years leading Flock browser development.
