Natural language interfaces have been tried on and off since the 1960's, but they have never really caught on, and there's probably a reason for that. Quicksilver took off because it added a bunch of features that made such interfaces work well, one of them being an unambiguous and intuitive separation of verbs and objects. > Maybe someone else can create another firefox plugin that works more like you > describe Possibly. The problem is that because Ubiquity's interface doesn't allow some forms of interactions, Ubiquity's plugins will be less functional and useful than they would be if Ubiquity had a more Quicksilver-like interface. In any case, I was foremost interested in whether this was a simple "hey, natural language sounds good to me" decision or whether people had actually done an in-depth analysis and evaluation of different interfaces. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ubiquity-firefox" group.
