Firefox Ubiquity – letting language control your technology, not the other way around
September 1st, 2008 by Michael Zimmermann
The internet is beyond a fad. Of that, there’s no doubt. It’s a powerful tool, and it all centers around communication. The ease of using the medium isn’t always up to par, however, and so it’s only the geeks that seem to be on the ball when it comes to the sharing, storing, comparing and broadcasting.
With the advent of blogs, social networks like facebook, mashup sites, and instant notification concepts like RSS, that’s all changing.
There’s a great project in the works that takes it a step further, putting all of these tools at your fingertips, and making it easy to use everyday language, too.
Take a brief look at Ubiquity for Firefox in this great intro video by Aza Raskin, and then, take a deeper look, if you like.
