Fleck Hand Signal
We Fleckers are a secretative bunch of people. Whispering and hyping all day, silently writing code or mingling with VCs to get our funding. An underground movement like us needs a signal. Something to use as a indentifier when we are among strangers.
We tried ‘the nod’ for a while but that didn’t really work. Nodding at strangers while keeping your eyes fixed on them and looking suspicious didn’t have the desired effect. But we found a solution! The Fleck handsignal!
As you can see in the image you use 2 fingers to make the V for Victory signal but then horizontally. Do you see the F for Fleck?? That is the secret handsignal for Fleck from now on.
If you see people doing this to each other in the street (while nodding and staring) you will know it is us. Don’t ask us to be included in the beta but DO fleck us back, you know how…

Haha - tried that out on a guy in a suit as I was walking to the gym thismorning. His eyes widened like I was flashing him a gang sign. He then proceeded to cross the street once I’d walked past him. Clearly not in the know…although I’d suggest using it with discretion.
We should talk. My company’s system, which is currently under development, is very much web 2.0 centric. Would definitley be interesting in having a conversation about how we can make each other’s launch that much more successful. Fire me an email at matt.dickinson@thinkpiece.ca
Cheers
