RE: [backstage] Ubiquity
Its funny you ask about ubiquity. We've been chatting about it a little on the
internal list. Very interesting stuff, I'm sure there could be some amazing
some thing which could be done with iplayer, audiomusic, etc
Go play

Subject: [backstage] Ubiquity
Has anyone been playing with Ubiquity? It is kind of a command-line for
Firefox, a bit like Quicksilver for the mac... It only works on Firefox 3, but
looks really interesting ..
http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/introducing-ubiquity/
A get-bbcnews verb would be a wonderful thing - someone has already made a
Google News one here:
http://cokeeffe.wordpress.com/get-news-for-ubiquity/
Which uses this code:
CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
name: get-news,
takes: {news title: noun_arb_text},
preview: function( pblock, theShout ) {
pblock.innerHTML = Will search for news titles containing: + theShout.text;
},
execute: function( directObject ) {
var url = http://news.google.com/news?q={QUERY};
var query = directObject.text;
var urlString = url.replace({QUERY}, query);
Utils.openUrlInBrowser(urlString);
}
})

Re: [backstage] Ubiquity
I like ubiquity, I think a lot of cool apps can be developed. I'm just
waiting to see how ubiquity will interact with Google Apps, not just Gmail.

It seems a long way from doing what is claims it should do , given that it
seems to be able to search google and translate stuff.
