Backing up my ginormous Zotero library was something of a deterrent, so I didn’t install Firefox 3 until Ubiquity (Introducity Ubiquity, Mozilla Labs<\/a>) (Ubiquity Firefox Plugin<\/a>) piqued my curiosity.<\/p>\n

At first glance, Ubiquity strikes me as Quicksilver for the Web. I suspect it will be much more.<\/p>\n

\"Ubiquity<\/a>Install a single plugin<\/a>, then summon Ubiquity’s command box with a keysequence. You can also use a contextual menu (right). Pre-installed commands are sorted in order of expected use. ‘Tag’ uses Firefox’s local tagging capability. To add delicious bookmarks, you could try delicious plugin code<\/a> from Ryan Sonnek<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aza Raskin’s Ubiquity Intro Video<\/a> gives a sense of the current capabilities. For instance, Example #2 shows that highlighting Craigslist apartment listings and invoking ‘map these’ generates a map of the listings.<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 1: Highlight Craigslist apartment listings<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 2: Invoke Ubiquity's 'map-these' command<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Step<\/a>

Step 3: Voila! Mapped listings. (Less clicking, more mapping!)<\/p><\/div>\n

Nice, eh? Go try Ubiquity<\/a>. Or, if you want to read more first, there are plenty of options:<\/p>\n
