Firefox add-on Ubiquity
Oct07
I loaded Ubiquity other day. As Tony mentioned when we discussed it in the office, Ubiquity is like Quicksilver, but for Firefox. However, the similarities end after you set your keyboard shortcut to access the functionality. Ubiquity is all about function, being able to quick look up, add, translate or send anything that is within the Firefox browser window. It ties in well with gmail but not with other mail apps. So if someone sends you a name of a restaurant, you can quickly look up a review in Yelp, map it, and set a date in your calendar. I think the concept is great, the functionality is getting there, it will be better when it is integrated into the computer system. For people who love using Quicksilver, Im pretty sure they will love using this Firefox add-on too.
