FlockPod Self-Service Admin Tool Helps Users Manage Subscriptions: Free Version Continues for Small Groups.

FlockPod, the world's first social interaction pod - a small place on any Web page where people get together and interact on-the-spot, while staying on the page, is now out of Beta and available for general use. FlockPod will now be available as a subscription service, announced Harbinger Knowledge Products, the company that created the product. Organizations can set up and manage their own subscriptions which will enable their employees, partners and customers to interact in unique ways using FlockPod. However, users can set up their own FlockPod's for free if they expect to have limited members in the group.

Considering the crying need for content moderation in user-generated content, the FlockPod software now allows Administrators and Pod Managers a variety of privileges for deleting, archiving and blocking at source unwanted content. This keeps the social collaboration spaces clean and free of unwanted clutter.

FlockPod has also announced support for single sign-on, making it convenient for users to switch pods easily, once a user is "on FlockPod". To be "on FlockPod", a person signs in using a FlockPod account, which is completely free.

"We are excited to bring the benefits of self-service administration and content moderation to large user groups, who need to do the heavy lifting with FlockPod. At the same time, we continue to offer FlockPod free to other user groups with limited size," said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and Managing Director, Harbinger Knowledge Products.
"The new FlockPod also supports additional interactions for social search and question-answers," added Seema Chaudhary, Director Business Development. "We are always excited to provide new ways for people to interact," she added.
