Para qué te lo voy a contar si puedes ver el vídeo tú mismo, jeje.
- Eddie said: i've wanted something like this for a while now, if only for a command line interface to the web. yubnub is too slow, and is often down. firefox smart keywords are ok but require an extra bounce and extra (server-side) coding if i want to do anything fancy.
- ryan.capote said: This is really cool, watch the video!
- Pradeep said: Awesome!Have been playing with it since yesterday evening. It is most certainly the Quicksilver (http://bit.ly/1XVYsZ) of the web. And they seem to be intent on revolutionizing the way we access the web. (Also, check out Adaptive Path's video for Mozilla Labs' concept web series: http://adaptivepath.com/aurora/)Install (https://people.mozilla.com/~avarma/ubiquity-0.1.xpi) and type "command-list" to get the complete list of built-in commands.Or ubiq "command-editor" and build your own commands. May be something to 'select a text, add a note and post-to-reader'!It's also possible to embed Ubiquity commands in webpages. How will the web react? Think of the possibilities for a frequent user on a massive destination like Amazon or Yahoo!They admit that the whole thing is "messy" and "cluttered" (sample: hyphenated commands) but I can firmly say that they are heading in the right direction.Hmmm...now, about the lost mojo...[http://bit.ly/3xtnj7]
