One of the most exciting experiments I have seen in a while by Mozilla Labs. The development community of Firefox is working on enabling all kind of web services by using text in a browser. Think of typing "route description to Amsterdam Central Station" in your email client and being able to automatically insert a Google Maps route in the mail message.more about "Ubiquity for Firefox on Vimeo", posted with vodpodA very nice example of the distributed web in action - and which shows the importance of extensive web service API's and microformats. It will be interesting to see what OS players like Microsoft and Apple will do with these developments on your desktop.

original description

Introducing Ubiquity for Firefox, and experiment in connecting the Web with language. labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/ Ubiquity's goals are to: Empower users to control the web browser with language-based instructions. (With search, users type what they want to find. With Ubiquity, they type what they want to do.) Enable on-demand, user-generated mashups with existing open Web APIs. (In other words, allowing everyone (not just Web developers) to remix the Web so it fits their needs, no matter what page they are on, or what they are doing.) Use Trust networks and social constructs to balance security with ease of extensibility. Extend the browser functionality easily.
