The Flock browser is built on Firefox 3 browser and is capable of handling many of the Firefox add-ons. It was designed with social networking in mind and makes a lot of social networking easier.

Flock 2.6.1
Flock is designed to streamline and emphasize how you interface with social networking sites, RSS and media feeds, and blogs. Because it's built on Firefox 3, its behavior will feel familiar and it supports most--but not all--Firefox extensions. And yes, the "awesome bar" is part of the latest version.
Flock's social network savvy sidebar is the reason to get this browser. Buttons at the top of the collapsible sidebar make accessing any of your social networking or frequently used Web sites easier than Twittering what you had for breakfast. Feature-focused, each button either helps you get your message out faster, like dragging and dropping photos into Flickr, or helps you read your friends' messages quicker, like the integrated RSS reader. The People button turns the sidebar into a nifty way to track all your social networking accounts. Your avatar is displayed on the left, while the right contains links for new messages and new comments. The bottom holds the links to upload new media when applicable and a hot link to open or close your media stream.
There are also hot links to most major blogging sites, and if you choose to configure it for your own self-published blog, Flock guides you through the process. New users will likely find it overwhelming at first, but it really does give you a more comprehensive and real-time view into your social network than you can get otherwise.

Aggravated by Ads embedded everywhere? Get Adblock Plus.
I seriously dislike going to a site that has ads everywhere. I move my cursor and up pops up some ad for a word. With Adblock Plus I control what site can display advertisements. If I am on Facebook and feel like seeing ads just in case they came up with some entertaining new game then I can tell Adblock Plus to not block that page. And I can be moody about it too! I can click enable Adblock Plus to enable it or disable as I see fit! Tired of going to a website and being overwhelmed by advertisements and having no clue where to click for what you want to download, no problem mate, throw this free add-on on to your browser and you choose when to view the ads.

The Web of Trust - Social Feedback while you browse
Have you ever wanted to know if the site you were about to enter was safe or not? Have you ever wished that someone could tell you their opinion about it instead of having to stumble around the web? Well this application will do that for ya. Powered by the community of users and backed up by Panda Security to increase your safety while browsing the web. You will wonder how you lived without it.
A while ago my aunt when on to a site for Home Depot. Not sure what she typed in and not sure how she got there but that was her intent but that was not what she got. She said she had never seen such graphic porn in her life, and my uncle spent the rest of the day fixing the computer and getting it back where he wanted it prior to her inadvertent mishap. If she would have only known that that site had a bad reputation for viruses she could have picked another site to go to. If someone could have warned her that she was about to step into a place that she might not want to go, then she could have made an educated guess. Hopefully in spreading the awareness of this little gem others can be a little more safe while surfing the web.Amplify’d from jodydaviswildside.blogspot.com

A few movies I would like to see.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a film based on the 2003 video game of the same name. The film is directed by Mike Newell and stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley, and Alfred Molina. Filming took place in the United Kingdom and Morocco. Prince of Persia was originally scheduled to be released on July 19, 2009, but this was postponed during the first month of shooting to May 28, 2010.[52] The film was made for Disney by Jerry Bruckheimer's Studios, using the same team behind the Pirates of the Caribbean for the shooting schedule.
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is an 2010 fantasy adventure film produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, directed by Jon Turteltaub, stars Nicolas Cage, and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, the team behind the National Treasure franchise. The story is said to have been loosely based on the Sorcerer's Apprentice segment in Disney's Fantasia, which in turn is based on the late 1890s symphonic poem by Paul Dukas and 1797 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ballad.
Tron: Legacy is an upcoming 2010 science fiction film. It is a sequel to the 1982 Academy Award-nominated film Tron. Joseph Kosinski makes his feature film directorial debut with Tron: Legacy, while the previous film director, Steven Lisberger, returns as a producer.

Anderson, and starring Milla Jovovich, Ali Larter, Wentworth Miller, Kim Coates, Spencer Locke, Boris Kodjoe and Shawn Roberts.
