Press Release Body = Harbinger Knowledge Products is poised to take eLearning to the
next level with the FlockPod beta release announced recently. The company that
introduced Raptivity, the world's first rapid interactivity builder to the eLearning
space now brings social interaction to users' fingertips with FlockPod. This
software subscription service enables collaboration on any web page to serve a dual
purpose - facilitate social learning and augment the content itself!

The central idea of FlockPod is to provide a space on any web page for users to
collaborate and learn right on-the-spot, to share ideas, opinions or sometimes even
to question or debate. Such a social learning tool could have many applications
within an organization such as, collaborating on internal projects, threaded
discussions on a topic, group assignments, peer support, hand raising and debates,
just to name some.

"Experts and learners all would agree that a challenge facing eLearning today is the
absence of social interaction and informal learning, which otherwise happens
naturally in traditional learning forums such as classrooms or conferences.
FlockPod's patent pending technology aims to fill just this gap", said Vikas Joshi,
Chairman and Managing Director, Harbinger Group about this novel innovation. "With
FlockPod, people can go beyond the presented content, either to share more
interesting information on the topic or to gain valuable insights from peer
contribution. What's more, FlockPod is a secure, scalable environment offering
real-time and relevant view of the shared information, thus creating value not only
for people but also for the presented content."

FlockPod is really easy to subscribe to, integrate and use, requiring absolutely no
download or installation. That coupled with FlockPod's visually appealing and
functionally sound interface lends itself to a satisfying user experience.

Talking about the unique hosted service FlockPod, Seema Chaudhary, Director,
Harbinger Knowledge Products said, \"Content creators can now leverage the benefits
of web2.0 technology for learning. People can act, interact and react in context, to
create a truly collaborative learning experience. Unlike wikis and discussion
forums, FlockPod delivers the knowledge right in context of the webpage, while
providing a more controlled environment for the content owners to guide the
interaction\".
