OMG. Not very often have I been so excited as I am now. I, about an hour back, installed Ubiquity plugin for Firefox. Ubiquity takes internet experience to new heights. Mashups – I have heard this term used quite often, but never really experienced it before (sorry for my ignorance). I read an article about Ubiquity in Techcrunch today- and boy, I was amazed at what is possible with Ubiquity. I simply cannot find the right words to describe my excitement. Watch the following video to believe:
To believe it, install Ubiquity 0.1 plugin yourself and experience the rich new internet experience. If you want to read more about it, well, I would suggest you to read the creator, Aza Raskin’s blog.
Ubiquity also lets you extend it by adding your custom commands. You can share your commands with others and you can discover more commands here.
There is one issue to watch out though. If you subscribe to commands from untrusted sources, there is a potential threat to privacy and risk of stealing personal information. Read Mozilla’s warning here. Mozilla has promised to create a “trust network” where users can share knowledge about which commands are trustworthy. Until this service is rolled out, watch out what commands you are subscribing to.
Cheers!
