Notch up another interesting project for Mozilla. As I'm sitting here at my desk I've installed a new app called Ubiquity to my firefox browser. This little app allows you to take any information on a web page, highlight it and do something with it. For instance, I see an address, I highlight it and then hit ctrl spacebar and type map. Instantly, I get a map of that location and as I learn more commands I can do more things, like an amazon search or yelp a resturant I read about or I could even create my own commands. It's a great concept to think about taking information on any page into more useful, relavant information for you. While it's still version 0.5 I think its got great potential and can't wait to see where they go with it.
