Ubiquity from Mozilla Labs

Prepare to have you Internet changed forever with Mozilla Labs' new FireFox tool, Ubiquity.

What is it?
I don't think this question could be harder to answer. Ubiquity is an "add-on" or extension for Mozilla FireFox. but it's so much more than that. It really a new way to view, use, and manipulate the web. It allows you to gain instant access to searches (google, wikipedia, amazon, imdb, youtube, ebay,etc), social networks (twitter, digg, etc.), your email, google calendar, and even control over your browser (restart, close tab, switch tab, zoom, refresh, etc.). All of this with out having to leave your page or your keyboard. To access Ubiquity, all that is needed is a quick hot key (CTRL+SPACE) and a black panel opens in the window above your current page. from there you start typing the command and what you want and it does it for you. You even can give it access to your twitter and email so they will be easier to access. For a few examples make sure to check out the video on Mozilla Labs site.

How do I feel about it?
To put it simply: I love Ubiquity. Quick, someone make me an I {Heart} Ubiquity shirt and I shall wear it. Ubitquity changed the way I use my web browser (which has been FireFox for quite some time now). I use it if I'm browsing the web and i find something interesting and want to twitter about it. Also it's good to send a quick email to someone so I don't forget to do it later. The cool thing is, you can even create your own commands with out much effort. I made one for my university's search page and people search page. I know this product is hard to understand, but since its absolutely free, I see no reason not to try it out for your self. If you use the web in an absolutely casual way (only to look up the word for something or the occasional email) Ubiquity may not be for you (or maybe it could be; you can get definitions right in ubiquity). If you like the depth of the rabbit hole, however, than you will definitely find some use for it (even if its just to update twitter with out going to the twitter homepage).
