Introducing Ubiquity

by amnesia on January 16, 2009

A new prototype browser plug in from the Mozilla Labs is promising to help connect different web services using natural language. They state the goals as:

  • 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.
  • Check the video out.

    Thanks to Reyn for the link.
