Ok, respect to Boris and co for creating the buzz around their new product. Although I’m sceptical about the innovative value of their browser toy, Fleck excels in marketing.
Then again, I didn’t sign up for the secretive testing fase, so my opinion is based solely on their blog story. To me, it seems they took months to build a relatively simple Firefox extension, while creating a lot off buzz around their product. Let’s hope for them that Fleck is “just what some people are looking for”, as Kirkpatrick states at his Techcrunch blog.
