Geeking out with Ubiquity

Started by manalang · 9 months ago

Big news today was the very-early (0.1!) release of Mozilla Labs’ Ubiquity.
What is it? That’s a really good question. It took me several passes to fix on the awesomesauce that is Ubiquity. I scanned the Techmeme coverage, thinking it was some translation tool, ... Continue reading »

    interesting... I don't think it will take long before people demand a command-line interface for Ubiquity, so you could do this kind of stuff from the shell...

    Eddie was saying that over Twitter yesterday, regarding an O/S interface. Since this is Mozilla Labs, it might eventually migrate into a shell version; that might be too intrusive to the core browser though.

    I'm pretty sure they mentioned that the Thunderbird integration is coming shortly. All they need is to add Office and IM integration and my life is complete.

    BTW- I feel dirty for even mentioning office integration.

    Thunderbird is on the list, but I think they were looking for some assistance. My guess is we'll see something we can replicate or hack-by-example soon that will open up IM and Office. What about GTalk? Probably there already.

    Thanks for sharing your Office cooties.

    That video spoke to me - I've been thinking of moving and was searching cragslist and having to go off and get maps for them by hand. That short term requirement alone is enough for me to try it out, don't need to see anymore.

    Yeah, I like the tool quite a bit. It requires some work here and there, but it's right in the average Firefox user's wheelhouse.
