Mozilla Labs Release Ubiquity: A Firefox Plugin Which Responds to Real Language
Last week witnessed an important release by Mozilla Labs: a prototype of a Firefox extension which actually responds to a users request rather than a search query, using a command line. It is one of the first effective examples of a plugin which transcends the boundaries of traditional search: for example, if a user wishes to send an email to a friend arranging to meet in a restaurant, he no longer has to search separately for links to a map of the location, restaurant reviews, and open his email client: Ubiquity performs this process in a single step. Tutorials and examples of Ubiquity can be found on http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/
