Ubiquity 0.1 is an "experiment into connecting the Web with language"
Mozilla Labs on Tuesday introduced a language-based add-on for its Firefox browser that lets users insert data into e-mails or navigate the Web without switching back and forth between multiple windows.
The prototype application is available for download now on the blog post.
In its current form, Ubiquity offers several features, including the ability to add maps and Yelp reviews into e-mail without navigating away from the e-mail message or opening another browser tab.
Pressing "control + space bar" – or whatever hot key you select – will open a pop-up box.
If you're typing an e-mail inviting a friend to meet you for dinner, type the address or name of the restaurant into the pop-up box, and Ubiquity will produce a Google map of the area. Zoom in or out to your desired view, click "insert map into page" and the map will appear in the body of the e-mail.
Want to add more information about the restaurant? Open the Ubiquity window, type "Yelp restaurant name" and it will produce reviews written on Yelp.com. Hit return and the entry will be inserted into the e-mail.
