Flock--The Social Media Browser

The Flock web browser is powered by Mozilla, so it has many extensions and features familiar to Firefox. With this browser, it becomes easier for us to stay updated with our social networking sites, email accounts, blogs, etc. We can control all our accounts with a single sidebar, called People, with this toolbar we can send email to our friends, comment on their posts and much more! Another great feature in this browser is that, if you want to email a photo or a link to a friend, just drag and drop that photo into your friend's profile, and let go of it. But one thing that disappointed us is that it does not have enough themes available. This browser has got it all to make social networking easier and more interesting, but absence of much themes downgrades our ratings. This Social browser gets 8/10 from our side.

It's a software that can quickly copy or move a single file or multiple files to any directory you select. Copying processes can be paused at any time and then be continued with a single click.
