I'm going to talk about a few Firefox extensions that I find very useful and intriguing. The first comes from Mozilla Labs: Ubiquity.Mozilla Labs » Blog Archive » Introducing UbiquityUbiquity 0.1* Lets you map and insert maps anywhere; translate on-page; search amazon, google, wikipedia, yahoo, youtube, etc.; digg and twitter; lookup and insert yelp review; get the weather; syntax highlight any code you find; and a lot more. Ubiquity “command list” to see them all.* Find and install new commands to extend your browser’s vocabulary through a simple subscription mechanism* Read about Ubiquity In Depth, or see a number of the commands in action (with screenshots) in the Ubiquity Tutorial.It's awesome!

Apresentando Ubiquity. Uma nova visão da comunicação na web. A idéia que embasa o projeto é avançada e visionária, mas tem futuro. Pode mudar a maneira como interagimos com a web e com as pessoas. Maravilha essa coisa de imaginação, limitless as it is. more about "Introducing Ubiquity", posted with vodpod

Mozilla a lansat marti prototipul unui program numit Ubiquitiy, a carui miza este integrarea prietenoasa a informatiilor in browser.Cu ajutorul campului de cautare, pe un site, utilizatorul poate cauta text care contine respectivul cuvant; in mod similar, explica Aza Raskin responsabilul Mozilla cu astfel de proiecte, citat de InformationWeek, cu ajutorul Ubiquity utilizatori pot tasta comenzi pe care browserul sa le execute.Practic, Ubiquity va readuce in prim-plan linia de comanda. De exemplu, cu Ubiquity, utilizatorul poate scrie intr-un email numele unui restaurant dupa care, selectand numele, poate deschide Ubiquity cu option-click, unde poate tasta `map` pentru a vedea locatia restaurantului pe o harta Google; apoi poate lua harta cu drag&drop pentru a o integra in email.Daca stadiul de experiment va fi depasit, Ubiquity poate deveni cum ii spune numele - ubicuu. more about "Mozilla a lansat Ubiquity", posted with vodpod

more about "Mozilla Ubiquity: use common language...", posted with vodpodMy friend Harry just mailed me a link to Mozilla Lab's latest experiment called Ubiquity. With Ubiquity you can use common language to get your browser do the work for you. For example, without having to be a web developer, you can create an email mashup containing words of inviting a friend to a cafe, include a map how to get there, add a review of the place and add the whole date to your calendar - all by using simple language commands. No more separate searching for web pages and copying and pasting links on the senders side and visiting lots of different pages on the receivers. Ubiquity allows utililising the vast resources of the Web through simple common language instructions; it could make it possible for everyone to do common Web tasks more quickly and easily. Would be great for mobile devices which don't provide the space and scope of desktop or laptop resources (eg keyboard, mouse, large screen). Even on a small mobile phone it doesn't take much to type a word to tell your browser what you want it to do; just type 'map' and the name of the restaurant while in gmail, hit enter and the browser not only looked for the map but also entered it into your mail. Brilliant stuff.
