The new FriendFeed beta is very nice, but Mozilla's Ubiquity is WOW. Can't believe they did that. Ensures I'll never use IE8.

kinda blows MSFT's 'smart tags' outta the water.

+1 FTW!

- just read the VentureBeat article and watched the Mozilla Labs video...amazing! Hope it gets near "live" soon.
- JA Castillo
JA: I'm using it right now and it does, indeed, rock.
- Robert Scoble
Scoble: Have you created your own rules or are you working from what has already been created?
- JA Castillo
For someone who is not code literate and such, how easy/difficult would it be to create your own rules?
- JA Castillo
JA: I am just going with what has already been created so far. I've only had it for a couple of jet lagged hours! :-)

It is the easiest way to search ever!

WOW!!! Ubiquity is awesome. Just the kind of thing I have envisioned.
- Allen Blair
Mozilla just created the killer webapp. Astounding! Thank you Moz
- Keith - @tsudo
indeed, i am amazed no one has come up with this before!
- Justin Long
I dunno, kinda seems like the Activities feature in IE8 Beta 1: http://www.microsoft.com/windows...

Ha, so that's what I read about FF command line... I like it, but he... I like command lines...
- Egon Willighagen
@brandon: yes - activites (i said smart tags before - oops). but i'm not sure they have the same 'angle.' seems like (since i've not tried Ubiquity) is user interface and that activities is a programming interface.
- MikeAmundsen
this is yubnub done right. heck someone can make a simple bridge to yubnub :). What will be "dangerous" about this Ubiquity is its viralness. People will immediately shares commands. Hopefully not worm and viruses.

Just installed Ubiquity and love it. I've not used IE for years and don't plan to.
- Brett Nordquist
I installed it last night and I just love it, go on Moz crew!!!
- Daniele Russolillo
Brilliant! reading the tutorials right now.

Jus checked it out and it rocks!

IE8 makes all the websites I visit look like complete crap. If they're asking developers to use tags in their HTML so that IE8 will think it's IE7, that can't be a good sign.
- Aaron Myers
I've been using YubNub and Slickrun for many months -- I'm not sure yet that Mozilla Ubiquity is a significant step forward.
- Sean McBride
What Mozilla's Ubiquity ? Any link to share?

UbiQ blows my mind away. Have been playing around with it all day. Just hoping that they imprve usability in the coming versions. Tweeting from UbiQ is a breeze, I'm guessing this is going to increase load on Twitter APIs like crazy!
- Vinodh Nandakumar
I installed Ubiquity late last night, and yes, it does have the WOW factor for me as well. I want to see how easy it is to create commands, after viewing the vid. Nice work.

It sounds great for power users. I was also imagining a sidebar type app that would be suggesting things to do with stuff. Select an address and it would pop up a map and give you the option to email it. This way no need for new users to know text commands or have to think what might be the word to use.
- John Cooper
Sidebar is a great idea...also "chaining" commands. What if i want to tinyurl something (or two) and insert into a twit (or email..). Also if you don't use gmail (gasp), launching the OS native URL handlers like mailto:.
- Richard Goodwin
Ubiquity looks cool, but is very similar to what can be done with Quicksilver on Mac.
- Martin Añazco
if you like ubiquity you'll be sure to love http://www.humanized.com/enso that's Aza Raskin's work before he joined mozilla, so you can see where the inspiration comes from :)
- Chris Jones
watching the video for ubiquity @ mozilla labs now .... whoa
- John Blanton
I am yet to try out Ubiquity yet but your WOW has convinced me to check it out later ha!
- Joe Dawson
Where do these smart people come from. Very cool.
- Kenley Neufeld
this changes the way I can work... but what motivates me to change this way.
- Stewart Rogers
Anybody found a FF Ubiquity command to subscribe to yet?
- Grey Drane
help me, the editor is making me want to learn code. ARRRRRRGH!
- tehKenny
It's addictive, much like 'Launchy'.
- Vinay | विनय
Just wrote a FriendFeed command for Ubiquity. Check it out! http://bit.ly/3UPXGP
- Brandon Titus
@Martin Añazco ya, it reminds me of Quicksilver and the command-line, too. I really love it!!!! It creates an awesome workflow that leads to inspired power browsing.

Thanks to your blog post about Ubiquity I began using it and can see how it will enhance my web experience

if you're looking for me i've been hanging out here: http://friendfeed.com/jasonca... -- it's fairly dope.

I'm trying to check this out, but it doesn't seem to flow like my Reader or Twitter or even Plurk

FriendFeed does behave differently. The listing is dynamic and whatever has the most activity (liked and/or comments) will push other stuff down. Took a bit for me to adjust, especially since FriendFeed doesn't limit posts to only folks you follow. I hear you can change that, but I like the inclusivity I feel when I see interesting bits from a "friend of a friend."
- Arlan K.
it's a bit hard for me to follow. twirl constantly getting messages from friendfeed. too much!
- excalipoor
I like FriendFeed, but I like twitter also. The big problem is neither works well in my smartphone browser. No commenting in FF, no replies in Twitter.
- David Z
@David - Try http://fftogo.com from your smartphone. It's the best option for me, so far, from my Treo with Blazer browser.

Fairly dope? Old guy slang?
- Francine Hardaway
haha, fairly dope? Nice... How about Slightly Sick or Basically Bomb?
- Brandon
if you are looking for me, I'm getting laid. don't bother
- NoahDavidSimon
Ah, yes, it IS a fair bit of dope.
- Brian
it needs a better search....it is impossible to find a room unless you can find someone in that room..... and you need to be able to customize your page
