This is one of those things that could be interesting, but you can't really tell because of the WEB 2.0 bullshit surrounding it. Let's see if it's still around three months from now.
Basically, Ubiquity is a Firefox extention that gives you a small prompt to type into. From it you can invoke scripts, made by you or someone else, to invoke remote site APIs to do whatever you intend.
Right now it's sort of threadbare, but it's an interesting project.
map (address) for a quick google maps link
Select some plaintext code, ctrl+space to bring up the ubiquity prompt, put in syntax-highlight, and ubiquity will syntax highlight the code appropriately.
Write some shit for it.

>>http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/ubiquity-in-depth/ It’s ironic that the entire Web is on a push model, yet the browser—the most fundamental tool of interacting with the Web—is on a pull model.
I don't get it. The largest source of grief on the Web happens to be based on the "push model".

Shit weblogbabble. Also, I have a bullshit filter rule for the word "mashup"; the second I see it the second I close the window.

That's what I was thinking. All these Web 2.0.2951 SP2 with Internet Explorer 6.0 people know is to spurt bullshit about anything without having the slightest clue.

Stop the hate. Ubiquity is a nice window that appears when you press alt+space and you can type commands in it. It's absolutely useless right now (map? google search? spare me), but it has potential. Projects need users, and users like long descriptions with words like mashup and Web is on a push model.

Netscape tried integrating "push model" technology into web browsers back in the mid 90s and it failed miserably because the idea is a pile of shit. Why the hell are they doing it again? Didn't learn the first time?
