Introducing Ubiquity for Firefox, and experiment in connecting the Web with language. labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/

Ubiquity's goals are to:

Empower users to control the web browser with language-based instructions. (With search, users type what they want to find. With Ubiquity, they type what they want to do.)

Enable on-demand, user-generated mashups with existing open Web APIs. (In other words, allowing everyone (not just Web developers) to remix the Web so it fits their needs, no matter what page they are on, or what they are doing.)

Use Trust networks and social constructs to balance security with ease of extensibility.

Extend the browser functionality easily.

This is incredible! It's only version 0.1 and it's already changing the way I surf AND it's blowing my mind.
Nick Pettit 3 years ago

THIS is what the web should be like. Nice work, Mozilla.

Sounds like an important step; keep it going, Mozilla!

Awesome!

It's about time we start thinking of integration. Reminds me a lot of spotlight on steroïds. Keep on the good work. Would be fun to eventually avoid typing altogether. Say "Map this" rather than type it. Alternatively have basic commands associated to icons. I confess I'm definitely lazy. ;)

So, is this is the [extended] web 2.0 version of Greasemonkey?
Rick Umali 3 years ago

Glad to see this demo, as I've been reading about Ubiquity, but haven't seen a demo yet. This was perfect! It seems quite useful too, so I'll have to try it.
lukas zinnagl 3 years ago

this is such a cool enhancement for the web. We built an add-on which enables you to specifically search for people related data by typing "people search" - you might want to try that out on 123people.com

hope you guys like it

We're so excited for the possibilities with this here at qmania.com it's mind-blowing. One step closer to Aurora without having to leave firefox. Awesome.
Jonathan 3 years ago

Just blogged about this. Basically, it's the future.

@tim castle: since most people have not been exposed to the idea of the command line, how do you know it's beyond them? I'm old enough to have seen people not understanding how to use a mouse ya know...

By the way...your voice sounds very familiar...are you one of the guys who did the "Hydrogen vs Boost" video???
Zacqary Adam Green 3 years ago

Your voice...it makes me think of Quentin Tarantino working at an Apple store. I don't know why.

Also oh my god this is awesome.

I can't tell you how much I 'loved' ubiquity. Yup past tense. since 0.1.2 I don't dare update. I have a later version on my work machine (a Mac) and my home machine (Win XP) is 0.1.2. But at work it is useless. It even disables my url bar in firefox! I check out every new version... If it would work I'd love it to pieces again.

Looks very cool

"You should note that this wasn't possible before"

lol, nice. Yea I'm on board and plan to get involved. I love the Firefox/Mozilla philosophy: Internet for the the people, by the people. That personality and ant like structure of co-op shows in Mozilla and that should inspire us all.
john carver 3 years ago

This is basically an embedded version of Launchy (check this app out, keystroke launcher for windows with pretty much al of the functionality of ubiquity, but, at the OS level)
Khem Jones 3 years ago

Very good! I really like the idea! I think this could be the next step for the online revolution.
Stephan Otto 2 years ago

i really like ubiquity. btw: how did you make this video? the beginning, with the animated text looks really cool. any advice?
Stephen Fitzgerald 2 years ago

very nice. I'm not in the web dev world but it totally makes sense to me and I can see how useful it'll be.
DanielEdwardCalhoun 2 years ago

I use this in tandem with Google Wave. It makes me feel the internet is totally my bitch.

amazing!
KTdesigner 1 year ago

So whats happening with this? 2 years old and still not part of Firefox (as default)! Is it low user adoption due to the CLI style interaction (you need to learn and remember the shortcuts and keys) or something else? It looked/still looks so promising.
John Ward 9 months ago

Amazing concept but still seems too confusing and difficult for most users. Before people truly embrace it, I'd say most popular service sites will have added the share and cross service systems they need.
